Who are you?

by

Emma - Louise Braiden

When will the masking end?
Is it here to stay?
I hate the masking and the lies
The false smiles you wear

Grow up

Get over it

It was not his fault
Not that i would know
I'm only here
Not important
Furniture

'Oh yes, and there is 'her',
I put up with her cause i have to'

I will glare at you and scream
You won't even flinch
You have become so hard
What happened to that sweet little girl
She so desperately wanted to please

Now she is gone

And you are here

You
Who do you think you are?
With your glamour and style
You are crumpled inside
Crumpled and broken and hateful
Yet you hide behind masks
Your favourite - the mask of pretence

- of ignorence -

You cover your intensions
You blot out your thoughts
Maybe if you don't acknowledge them
They will go away

Not so

You feel compelled to hate
You hate him
Unfairly
But life is not fair
Your life was unfair
And you still believe that you will be swept off your feet
But how can you be when you hate him so badly
You will laugh as he is lowered into the ground

But on the inside you have died

Maybe you should leave
Just go away
I don't want to see you again.

Why don't you look at The girls of my boyhood
