The Mind Game
fooling them with a simple façade
- the make-up, the mask
a true charade
a player you are
pretence the game
the playcard a joker –
a shield against shame
insulating the inner, framing Fear
for finding it insuperable
the mountain you rear
but the mountain is not
the authentic obstacle in life
our mindset rather
we should conquer, should knife
this cast of mind you yourself must obliterate
‘cause no other master
the master of your fate
