Knight of the Masquerade- Part Two

back to his dwelling he shall go; the mask of victory still remains; home again...finally; safety has been reached; mask can finally be removed; the mask of victory is removed; the true face of the knight is unmasked; his war-torn and scarred face is revealed; marred and scraped from the heat of battle; who is this man?; a tear streams down his face; this hard-faced knight breaks down; he can’t handle this but he has to keep face; he puts on a mask once again; he must keep face; remember your training...be strong, be steadfast; you are a knight of the castle; you must set an example; be strong...be courageous; show no fear...never give up; what mask does this valiant knight wear now?; the fear of revealing his emotion chooses the mask; situational masks adorn the knight’s face; ever there...unceasing; what happens now?; he continues on...mask ever-present; a new day...a new mask; situations call for masks; never showing truth; this knight once again mounts his horse; preparing himself for the ride to come; helmet is worn...relief for a time; this strong and valiant knight has up until now been unnamed; the true name of this knight...; his name...; he is called the knight of the masquerade;.
