Facade
Folder:
2014 I laugh on a stage
in a place
in a town
where no one knows me.
I smile
as the cloud closes in
I can’t breathe anymore.
And the crowd stayed predictable…
They lifted me on their shoulders
and called me marvelous
And I was.
I was a marvelous liar.
Pretending
So many tears,
Shed along that day.
so many fears,
That will always stay.
Though looking out,
With a smiling face,
I need to shout.
Where joy should be,
There is only doubt.
