time withers

pretending, acting, faking, make believe, false advertise
Reveal

laugh outside scream inside
shake a hand to the world rip off an arm within
walk with pride for eyes run into shadows to yours
captivate others alienate yourself
smile to them cry to inner thoughts
look in the mirror to see a smiling face
take off the mask after doing so
then look again
look in the mirror to see a smiling face
maybe time has healed
look in the mirror to see a smiling face
maybe this change is for the best
look at your body, it is withering away..

I like the looking into the mirror to see the same smiling face even after the mask was removed, it wasn't what I expected . . I also like the contradicting actions . . I was a little confused at the end but that happens to me sometimes ;) It's an inter
