Brave Face

I put a brave face on for you all to see

The smiling polite young man expected of me

Can't you see my eyes don't smile at you anymore

Filled with a pain of betrayal they look to the floor

The edges of my facade are beginning to crack

Tears unshed aren't something I lack

Deaf to your lies racing by everyday

No longer going to let them get in my way

It's time to rid myself of this mask and cry

Then maybe I can be happy with a goodbye

Alone and naked to start again

At least I will be free from the pain

Cloaked

Caged heart, Agitated soul; Truth suppressed, By vows you've sworn. Throne denies Battle of desires; Jailed in a mansion, To preserve the troth.

Saying 'Sorry'.

The words they get stuck in my throat, My heart's lodged with a shard. I never knew I'd struggle so much, That this would be so hard.

The Inner Me

There's a better man in me. Fighting to come out. He doesn't like what others see. A vision of hate and doubt. He's the one with all the joy. He's the one that laughs.

Will's Poem

Glass shattered, broken pieces shine in the sun. Your mask has come undone. A shooting star giving off so much light, why'd you try so hard to fight. Was there a reason you couldn't love.

Dark side

I need to vent my anger. By standing in the rain. I need to vent my anger. To wash away all my pain. When the rain falls. They can't see my tears. My heavy, hot tears. That burn down with my fears.

Expectations

Expectations make me, To them I am a mould, A piece of dough to take and shape, To have and then to hold.
