Behind the Curtain

Here,


I hide my wounds


And neatly stack my pain.


I bottle up the hurt


Just to simply stay sane.


I take all of them


And store them away.


Abandoning my stormy cloud


Into a sunny day.


 


Here,


I am a bright sky,


Shining for everyone to see


Until, lest I die,


Once again, I hide


Behind the curtain.
