Ordinary Girl (Camouflage) Poem by Silence Dogood

Im tired of this camouflage.
This mask I always wear.
Its time to lift the film.
Be exposed and go bare.

I dont want to hide behind a fake smile.
Or cover the tears with a laugh.
Im tired of living in a shell.
Following the wrong path.

Im not afraid of failure.
Or landing in defeat.
Im okay with who I am.
In this world of deceit.

I got this mask glued on.
And my smile perfected.
My tears are hidden.
Even though im regected.

But its time I dig deeper.
And uncover the real me.
Get rid of these layers.
And show the beauty underneath.

The world hasnt seen Kyla.
They dont even know her name.
Shes just a nobody.
But thats going to change.

She wont hide no longer.
Behind masks made of lies.
She'll show her true coulors.
And get rid of her disguise.

The pain will vanish.
And fade away.
She'll put on a smile.
And survive the day.

I dont need camouflage.
To hide from the world.
Because Im nothing special.
Just an ordinary girl.
