'Masquerade'

I walked this rope so many times
Sometimes the difference so blurry
The shade I really don’t need
Yet, it’s always there, waiting…

For my thoughts to dwell 
In between happy and sad
Not knowing the difference
The tears sometimes shed 
Have no idea why the flow

Just like me, they are in limbo
Wondering what their worth might be
In a place where darkness reign supreme

I feign a smile, imitate a laugh
Just to get me through the day
A happy face with tumultuous thoughts
It gets so tiring being in this space 

Space of pretence- 
Mountain of deceit

Hopeful that maybe today, 
The shade will drift away
