Not What They Appear

A mask upon the features,
a facade, the only thing in sight.
This aching creature
is struggling to fight.
A screen, a mask; a dam
work to hold the contents in.
But soon, be afraid, the flood may overflow
and release all that's kept within.
Things aren't what they appear.
Beneath that facade there's a girl
who heard the screams as she clamped her hands upon her ears.
Beneath that facade there's a girl,
who silently cried invisible tears.
Things just aren't what they appear.
Tend the budding flower,
pour into the proper mold.
Bask beneath a shower,
and forget it's feeling cold.
Cracks form in the surface
and weeds of truth push through.
Find in the growth a purpose
and figure out the right thing to do.
Things aren't what they appear.
In that mold, beneath those cracks, there's a girl
who screamed inside each day she woke.
In that mold, beneath those cracks, there's a girl
who pushed against it till it broke.
Things just aren't what they appear.

oooooh I really, really liked this. This was
beautiful, but struck me as very sad. Is this
poem you wrote for school? If so I would
stamp a big A on it. I really liked the part with
the shower and "forgetting" that its cold. An
excellent poem.
