Poetry is the heart decoding messages for the brain from the soul through layer upon layer of flesh, blood and fear.

You hide so much 

Your pain,

Your fears,

Your scars,

your true emotions

You hide from the world

Faking smiles

wearing sleeves

Masking your fear with some fake confidence

Hide your fatigue and imperfections

Get some makeup,

Put in contacts,

Buy new clothes,

Because there's only so much

you can hide from the world.
