"I'm fine" I said
But they don't know
Why I instantly fled
Behind my joyful glow
Shadows show
Behind my pride
Shadows hide
Behind my art
Battles start
Behind my face
Thoughts race
Behind my hands
Hateful rants
Behind my toes
Glass shards, in rows
Behind my shoulders
Are no wonders
Behind my voice
A bothering noise
Behind my chest
A demon's nest
Behind my torso
A monster claws on
Behind my arms
Rotten rose plants
Behind my legs
"Worthless" he said
Behind me, not great
Monsters that made
Myself their maid.
