Tears too prideful to fall
Lay hidden between thin sheets
the lump that plays hide-and-seek
composure in check.
False words dripping poison,
secrets-shh don't tell,
horomone's urge to rebel,
media's idea of healthy.
the colors seem to fade away
with every little gasp
the door seems too far away
out of reach, not in your grasp
The world's idea of life
by spinning out of control
while you're still put in pause
time steals your goal
The fictional characters
The woeful story of their life
Ends up back in you face
This is your life
