She pretends to be brave
Confident, suave
Well-versed with
The ways of the world.
She’s impressive and
Charming
A social butterfly
She doesn’t seek attention
But attracts it nevertheless
She’s outgoing and funny
But not in a haha way
She’s witty and smart
Intellectual
Well-read
And everyone thinks
She’s well-adjusted.
Only she knows
The fallacy she lives
The masks she wears
The nightmares
That haunt her
The insecurities
The doubts
The inferiority complex.
She can never let her
Guard down
Never peel the layers off
Never be truly her self
Except at night
As she lies in bed
Engulfed by darkness
When there is no one
To hide from
And nowhere to hide.
