Masquerade
They break your mask
Crush it with their feet
Point and laugh at
How ugly you look
A monster they claim for you
To be
To play the role of an actor
A villian,
When all you wanted was
To save the world
And resuscitate the unresponsive
Justice, who had gone into
Cardiac arrest
But they've never been
To your house
And they've never searched
What you have hidden
But wish for the whole world
To see;
A shelf you've built in your
Room, with a plethora of
Masks,
Roles you act for different
Plays you play a part in,
As the actor takes a bow
And the curtains close,
The camera stops rolling,
The director says, "CUT!"
And it is only in your
Dressing room
In which you are truly revealed
