[Vision2020] Unmasked

[Moscow Cares]

“Unmasked” by Bruk Linn
 
Don't believe my words; 
they're lies that I fabricate to 
project a perfect life and 
convince you I'm okay.   
        
Don't trust the smile you see;  
it's a facade to conceal 
searing pain, acute shame,
sheer heartache. 
 
Don't get fooled by my laughter; 
it is merely an echo 
of hollow insides, yearning 
for senses to return. 
 
Don't get convinced by my clarity and order; 
borne in attempt to 
control the chaos   
and pacify the storm brewing inside.
 
Don't be blinded by
The perfection I exude,
The courage I fake, 
The innocence I feign,  
The confidence I wear- 
For I am broken.
