My Deepest Fear Poem by Karly Jaye

I tore my wings off my back
So I could use them as fins
Maybe they'll save me from sinking
As I struggle deep within

I painted my heart gold
So I could cover up the black
Maybe I could use it to fool myself
Into thinking you might ever be back

I put a bracelet on my wrist
So I could cover up the scars
Maybe it will hide those constant reminders
Of how I'll never run too far

I drew a mask for my face
So I could hide all the tears
Maybe it will prevent you from seeing
You're my deepest fear
