The mask

Behind the mask, a false face thrives,

Behind the disguise, a hollow humanity survives.


A facade we show,

exhibit as our true selves,

built upon, hiding the edifice

that is truly our bare self.



Behind the mask, a false face thrives,

Behind the disguise, a hollow humanity survives.



The mask of laughter,

The mask of joy,

Some mask to unmask,

All mask to decoy.



Behind the mask, a false face thrives,

Behind the disguise, a hollow humanity survives.



A mask, well, is just that,

a covering, casing, wrapping on life,

Behind the mask, a false face thrives,

Behind the disguise, a hollow humanity survives.
