Doubt

• Artist: Hana-CHaN02
• Description: It's been a while since I submitted any poetry so I thought I'd put this one in. I just submitted this to a small publication so I was hoping for some second opinions before I get the publisher's opinion on it.

A dark truth
Hidden
My feelings
Stored away
My true face
My tears
My pain
Suppressed by
One thousand masks
Reflected
Only in my eyes
Staying true to my heart
Betraying my mind
But
No one sees
No one looks that deep
No one tries to force off
The masks
Not even me

A coward
I continue to conceal
The despair
The anguish
Doubt has imposed
Upon my fragile psyche
Devouring
Every ounce of trust
Destroying me
Making me
Cold and vacant
As a deserted house
With no warmth or comfort
Not a drop of rapture
Left by its previous owner
Only barren rooms
Shrouded in darkness
In one
I sit
Surrounded by voices
Friends
Trying to reach me
Blocked by a wall
With no door
Forcing them away
Caging me in
Preventing my escape
From this self-inflicted
Torment

but the friends had enuff so sick of trying...
to break open the wall but we heard you crying.
so we got a dimalition ball and took down that wall, so you can once again stand tall.
