The Facade

Seeing you now, I know you are lost
Inside you're as frigid as the bitter frost
You've given yourself to an unwritten sin
A voice in the crowd muffled by din
Your facade is murder of innocent life

A laugh or grin may form your face
But deep inside you feel disgrace
Your sallow heart gives fearful shout
The facade rules still to snuff it out
Your world is fake with pretenseful strife

Those around you construct your thoughts
While imagination inside you rots
Your flashy clothes, your dark toned bod'
Are but a facet of the facade
You're suicide at the tip of the knife.

The world revolves while you sit still
A masquerade of all self will
Just remember all you know
Though trapped inside you still can grow
It waits inside for you to find
But you are false and may not mind
The strength of the facade to bind...

I was like this, and I still am a little. I'm trying to reclaim my life from the facade I put up and I hope others who know how this is can do it as well.
