you see simply

the girl you know,

she smiles and waves,

maybe cracks a joke

or two and messes about

but you’ll never see

her underneath

where she’s sobbing,

screaming, raging because

she simply can’t get out.

she’ll grieve because she

knows she’ll never be loved

the way she wishes

and she’ll rage because

the way she wishes love

came to her

is not the way it does.

she longs for someone

to hold her...

Gone is the sense of place,

Under this cheap mask.

A needless task,

In this lost remembrance.

Smiles forced,

And contrary.

Feelings secondary,

And needlessly coarse.

…

I love you Baby🖤...

Hate that I entertained you…

Why am I like this?

Accepting to a fault…

And NO, I don’t deserve this.

Goodness outpouring from my veins…

I can’t help it.

And inate need to help anyway I can…

And you took, when it was convenient.

Beneath the surface I am good.

Misunderstood, but good.

What are you though?

Twisted in some sense…

People don’t treat people that way,

When they ‘care’ about them.

...

Under your veil,

is our mind.

Put control on this scale,

and thy aches will rescind.

Break my skin,

to feel warm.

Thoughts that swarm,

this isn't a sin.

In this chest,

is our heart.

This love manifest,

with this life's chart.

Beneath the surface,

we all need care.

against battles we don't share,

in our space.

...

All of us have battles, whether we share them or not, they may be bloody or in o...

_Beneath the Surface, their masks quickly come off, and their smiles fade as the lies, horror, and insanity resume instantly._

__

_Beneath the Surface, it's dark, cold, lonely, hopeless, and dirty. Food is sparse, like help or love._

_Beneath the Surface, it's either total chaos or insane misery that drags on endlessly until the cycle repeats day after day._

_Beneath the Surface, they put on...

She’s beautiful and she’s silly,

She’s sweet and she’s kind,

But her beauty she does not see,

And her laughter only hides the truth.

She’s sweet because of empathy,

And she’s kind to mask her pain.

She longs to feel loved,

But her heart pushes them away.

She’s been abandoned and dropped,

She’s been hurt and put down,

But even at her worst, she still manages to smile.

The smile that hides the pain ...

Where to start,

Like a piece of art

Marking my territory,

With no inventory

Mental or otherwise,

Just standardised lies.

Ideas evaporated,

Doubt activated,

Overwhelmed by sin,

So far from the win.

Picking up the scent

Of unhinged intent.

A lot to process,

A need for progress.

Feeling alone,

A dog without a bone.

But fortune changes

No longer strangers,

Willing to take new risks,

Willing to learn n...

Cold and dark

Wet and bubbly

Fizzling and gurgling

I want to taste you

Sugary sweet

Refreshing and rough

Scratching my throat

Soothing my soul

Soda goodness

Liquid gold

Black

Cola

Finished

...

Oh my sweet Valkyrie,

Protector of mine.

Oh my sweet Valkyrie,

Your eyes they do shine.

My knight and my guard,

My savior, my song.

My dear perfect princess,

My only, my one.

Oh my sweet Valkyrie,

Who guards with her heart.

Oh my sweet love,

I pray we never part.

Valkyrie of mine,

Won’t you still till I die?...

Beneath the surface I am a murder.

A murder who killed the little girl I used to be.

That little girl was a bundle of joy.

Her face was always bright and cheerful.

It was as if the sun fueled her energy.

That little girl used to never care what she wore out in public.

That little girl was very talkative.

That little girl had many friends surrounding her.

That little girl who never cared what peo...
