My Mask Of Insanity

Long nights with out sleep

Tossing and turning

Floating through the hours

Gazing into the abyss

Voiceless faces stare back With looks of pity

As dawn draws near

I adorn my mask of insanity

Forged from lies of contentment

To hide what truly resides within

Through the progression of the day

I feel the mask begin to crack

And fear the worst

As you begin to see inside

Covering up the faults

With feeble excuses

And when dusk nears

I begin fabricating a new masK

Each one weaker than the last

Brittle Bones

My brittle bones are frozen

Through and through

Shattering like glass

At the thought of you

My soul withers

Down to nothing

When I see the stars

And I realize I am meaningless

Stuck in a rip tide

Fighting toward the shore

Using the last ounce of hope

Praying for a life line

To get me out of this hole

Sinking fast to the oceans end

Threatening to swallow me whole

My tears are lost on the waves

Your name is silenced by the storm

As I join the others In this watery grave
