The Mask of Independence.
Welcome to the show.
I'm very glad you're here.
If you take the time to read my ryhme I'll tell you what I fear.
My mask creates a shroud of sorts.
A layer of deciet.
The depths of which conceal my niche and keep it all discreet.
The outside of my noumenon.
Shows a distant, comic man.
While the inside, I do confide, hides most of what it can.
My fear is called dependence.
A sin of my own mind.
For if I find I've interwined I'll surely end up blind.
And so I wear autonomy.
A mask of seperation.
When all I need is indeed a fix for desperation.
