What's Underneath the Doll's Face

Cold hearted stares

Keep me quiet and smiling

While deep down inside

I am silently dying

 

Enveloped in a spider web of lies

Trying to please them

With countless "I'm fines"

Because I hate the looks they give me

A mixture of judgment and pity

 

They see me as a porcelain doll

Smile incapable of fading

Painted on for all the world to see

My cracks are subtle

I keep them well hidden

From condescending gazes

 

Beauty and circus tricks

Are perceived by the eyes

And ears can only hear my pretty lies

It is the heart alone

That is able to know the truth

Of all I dare not say

But it must be able to decipher

My abstract art every day

 

And thus determines

Those who are happy being deceived

And those, like I,

Who aren't afraid to dive

Into the deep

I loved this particular part, and also the mention of being a doll with a painted on smile. it really struck home. if i were to come up with a title for it, i would say.... Caught in Porcelain Lies

Your welcome my friend.

I thought this was very well done, I can see the person in the poem hiding behind a mask, put on for the sake of others. I can relate to that feeling. What would happen if you removed the mask?

Title - Perception

The poem was AMAZING not to say the rhytm and the flow also. I saw the rhymes in some parts they were great! U expressed the feelings in great amounts of saddness.
If I had to put a tittle it would be: Broken soul. Hope it helps! 100/100 :D

[Lost in Wonderland]

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind when I make the decision. God Bless:)
