It hurts when you go through

something that kills you inside

but you can't reveal it

and not display on the outside

Pretending may work

but only for a short time

eventually, you would want 

your insides and outsides to rhyme

Drop the act

expose what you feel

don't try to hide

your life under a veil

Once you reveal 

What you really feel

your soul will be in feathers

and all the wounds will heal!
