Life Without That Mask


You know that mask that covers all the guilt 

 
you know that mask that hides that hurt 
 
 you know that mask that pretends your happy 
 
you know that mask that weights on your conscious 
 
you know that mask that never finds peace 
 
you know that mask that gives you dreams in your sleep 
 
yes that mask is a deceive
 
 you know that mask that feels you with pride 
 
that mask is a costume I see so many disguise,
 
 allusions that mask angles perspectives
 
 that mask filled with darkness that mask is reckless 
 
that mask hunger the flesh that mask never rest that mask dangerous 
 
that mask has no love no council 
 
that mask has filter that mask is slick 
 
that mask a liar that mask a trick 
 
that mask craves it's never pleased that mask is evil it's a disease 
 
 that mask is wicked it has no identity
