The Many Faces of Perception

Mask of different kinds, textures and appearances Some may be scary, some making an impression As we are wearing each of them in instances While facing people on our first introduction Containing the dignified concealed persona Along with a feigning camaraderie Distinguished by an emanating aroma A delectable touché derived quality Ceaseless skirmishes in a realm of hide and seek Where it is compulsory to screen your presence For the unknown is a ghastly capricious freak Running wild in the pursuit under false pretense Locked in a fantasy-filled penitentiary Where our only valid verity is faux pas Everything’s on borrowed time and temporary Placed out stationary like a diorama Adhered in the many faces of perception Are based on true events, foreboding narrative Mendacity drawn details with smug attention A conquest for survival in order to live.
