Underneath

desperate sight
words undone
what you want
i become

inner peace
you possess
this tattered soul
you detest

surface face
all is right
confidence
near delight

but truth is found
in secret eyes
behind it all
rage ignites

underneath
all i hide
below the skin
deep inside

i try to fight
i cannot run
and in the end
you have won
