#13: Composure

Looks like my poems are getting few and far between.  I guess the muse has been missing lately.  Luckily, last night happened and I wrote this down in the wee hours of the morning like an insane person.  Enjoy.




Composure

They see masks of pale, smooth skin
keeping what's inside within
Freezing firestorms in your hell
but from this pyre it's hard to tell

Hide the stars in your brown eyes
Find the scars that mark the lies
Emotion's sting was buried deep
You'll find you bring those tears in sleep

Jars of nightfall, Jars of fears
line the wall of darkened mirrors
As your dreams are going black
tear the seams that bring you back

They can't read you when you stand
No one sees your trembling hands
reach to touch the thick, cold glass
that took so much away so fast

How could you have known the cost
Could you count these things as lost
vision swimming through the red
left this living hell instead

So you stand unearthed, exposed
Find your worth in calm's repose
In this vengeance seek your truth
blows for penance for your youth
