Just Worldly Things

Facade

We put our facades.

Blank faces and empty eyes.

They say we are emotionless,

but they don't know our story.

We once showed too much emotion,

and we got hurt.

Now, we refuse to show emotion.

Despite that,

we still hurt inside.

We are still hurt.

But no one knows.

No one can see past our facade.

So now we go through life

sad and lonely.

This facade is now a dam.

Waiting to crumble.

And then.. 

It floods.

It floods until the dam is empty.

Then we stand tall.

No longer showing weakness.

And we build up our facade.

And continue on with life

showing no emotions.

Just waiting for the facade to break again.
