The One Girl Masquerade
By Rose
Summary: After many minutes of hesitation and lack of self confidence, I finally decided to post my crap-... my poem. (Heh...)
Think Starfire, if you will.
I am the one girl masquerade.
A vibrant smile my faithful mask,
Summoning it a painful task,
Yet my safe barrier, my reliable charade.
I am the one girl masquerade.
Beaming sweetly through the pain.
This split personality proves insane,
That I am a one girl masquerade.
My eyes I keep as soft as rain.
Lock in all the sorrow, and what do I gain?
A silent scream, my emotional tirade.
It hurts to smile as though everything's right,
To forgive, to give everyone another chance,
Toshine a constant bright, fake light,
And to hurts so much to continue this tiring dance.
I am the one girl masquerade.
Hidden behind laughter,
Not sure of what I'm after,
Clutching my mask, my only aid.
I'm crying so very soundly,
Yet my eyes are strangely dry.
My silent sobs are pounding.
I can feel inside me die.
I smile for the sake
Of everyone else but me.
Happiness isn't mine to take,
Something you'll never have to see.
My depression hidden like a sin,
My single talent, my endless parade,
My smile clinging as a second skin.
But however sad, I'll never trade,
My one ability,
The gift of invisibility,
For I'm the one girl masquerade.
Dedication: The saddest girl at school
And my cat Steve. Who made all this possible, with a flick of his tail. :-)
Well, I'm off to watch Project Runway!
Enjoy.
