i tried covering myself in paint
to hide the pain
and wretchedness
inside myself and outbut the tears washed it away
leaving me bare and exposed
i tried a porcelain mask
to yet again
hide myself
and everything i feelbut it cracked under the pressure
of my depressionnow i resort to another mask
it more plastic and fake than i
such an ugly thing
but it'll do finewish me luck
