Another one of my poems. I want to tell you about a girl I know, Who lived behind a mask. Her smile was painted on everyday; And her heart was made of glass. But even porcillin, Can take a few hits before it falls. And everyone knows once glass cracks, You might as well have broken it all. So this little girl I know; Has glass shards for a soul. But with that mask she hides herself, To cover up that hole. Isn't it amazing, How much a smile can cover up? Put the real you in the closet, And lock the door safely shut. And this little girl, Of whom I know so well; Wishes she were here. She'd have a story to tell. She'd tell you of a Father- Who hits her everyday; because she is not perfect. does nothing the right way. She'd tell you of a life shes led. Thats not good enough for anyone else. And all this pain that she has felt, She blames it on herself. But still she goes on day to day; Wish a smile on her face. Her body full of bruises. Of her struggle, there is no trace. She hides herself in sweaters, Of black and navey blue. In oversized clothing; She can hide whats shes been through. So next time you judge The goofy kid sitting in the back; Telling stupid jokes, Dressed head to toe in black; Look past the smile. See what lies inside. 'Cause that little girl you know. Might have so much to hide. Jessica Lavigne.

Is this what you call a "get away"?
Tell me what is it you got away with?
'Cause I've seen more spine on a Jelly Fish;
More guts in 11 year old kids.

	We all wear that mask...to hide our pain, to hide our shame, whatever reason it may become, the real challenge is when to take it away...then only then...can we truly show ourselves to the ones we love... My boyfriend never could see behind my mask, even when I took it off... We are now apart as fate brings it to be... Hopefully that fate never comes to you...you deserve someone as strong as you. ^^ I love poetry...it can explain so many things that I only dream of explaining... May you never toss away this gift of expression. ~Kumei-san
