Poems from Welcome to my masquerade
They tell you
Success is a number.
A weight
A score
An amount.
They trick you into
Their lies.
You say to yourself
"I am surely nothing!"...
Pay no attention to these tears
See only the plastered smile
I must ignore my fears.
This done-up makeup will soon smear
These nails...
Life is but a hoax
A fable without moral that tries to coax
You into searching for a better day
While the choir and congregation all say...
