—the dreadful feeling fills me to the brim,
my soul crushed and emotions on a whim.
my tears began to fall and my eyes were swell.
the mask i wore was red and felt like a full well.

i see no other feeling besides this pain.
it aches my heart and gives me no gain.
i yearn for a touch of relief and joy.
but all in the end, im treated like a toy.

i was weak, i felt like broken tires,
my heart pained inside the barbed wires.
my bones were brittle like old pottery.
why did my feelings today betray me?
