What's Underneath the Doll's Face

Cold hearted stares

Keep me quiet and smiling

While deep down inside

I am silently dying

 

Enveloped in a spider web of lies

Trying to please them

With countless "I'm fines"

Because I hate the looks they give me

A mixture of judgment and pity

 

They see me as a porcelain doll

Smile incapable of fading

Painted on for all the world to see

My cracks are subtle

I keep them well hidden

From condescending gazes

 

Beauty and circus tricks

Are perceived by the eyes

And ears can only hear my pretty lies

It is the heart alone

That is able to know the truth

Of all I dare not say

But it must be able to decipher

My abstract art every day

 

And thus determines

Those who are happy being deceived

And those, like I,

Who aren't afraid to dive

Into the deep
