Painted Facade:

  After so long I've realised that smile you couldn't hold, a painted facade.

  With time maybe it'll fade, oh how I wish you could change what we made.

  I came into your life out of nowhere, and now you're a literal nightmare.

  Fuelling my insanity, you're an ever looming calamity.

  Gradually waiting for you to return, these feelings of concern.

  Persona:

  My wrists are clean,

  Whilst the back of my hands are obscene.

  Covered in burns,

  Thankfully no one shows concern...

  Shaving away the pain,

  So I can cope with all the blame.

  You'd never know the truth,

  After all I seem so smooth...

  I use a persona to hide,

  And you will never find,

  What I really feel,

  Even whilst I kneel,

  The suffering spurs on,

  Whilst I cover it all with a single smile...

  Confidence and vanity,

  None of that exists within me.

  It's all but a ploy,

  Whilst I use others as decoys...
