Masks
My truth, my deceit,
these lies I feed.
I'm no longer sure,
no longer in want.
I've given up on this,
this lie, this discord.
Now I'm lying in a pool,
my lies drowning who I am.
My thoughts, my disfunction,
finally gnawing away at me.
I'm not sure what is true,
no longer sure what is false.
I've lost myself,
to these falsities I play so well.
Now I'm sitting in a hole,
far from what I used to be.
My decay, my distrust,
now formed in a simple act.
I'm longer in control,
for this is no longer me.
I've fallen from this place,
to a world in my imagination.
Now I wander aimless,
no longer with my soul.
