My Mask's Reflection
December 9, 2014
I was stuck in a shadow,
Lost within your past.
I was all alone,
Till I found my mask.
With the mask on,
The world cannot see.
All the tears of mine,
Hidden in misery.
The world it shows,
To me and me alone.
A place within a dream,
My heart’s forgotten zone.
However the mask’s world,
Is but a saddening lie.
When I discovered this,
My heart began to cry.
For I knew that the mask,
Was only trying to help me.
But you can’t help the hopeless,
As anyone can see.
I wish this world was real,
To become my reality.
Maybe it can,
If I change its morality.
But to do this change,
I must change myself.
To make the world new,
In and of itself.
