What She Hides
Location
Issele-uku, Nig
A mask of lies
Forges her ultimate disguise
A smile
Glimmering with false joy
Inside she's just a toy
A toy to her anxiety and depression
They take over with aggression
Forcing her into false expression
Till one day
The noose ties
She becomes released from the lies
But it's too late to stop the dead
If only you could've seen
If only you could've seen through the mask
She'd be alive
Not hanging above her bed
This poem is about:
Me
My community
Our world
