An Actor But Out of the Drama

At a certain point
He happened to be a pretender
Deviating the track he came
Like an iguana 
Way of flowing the life
Broke and changed

Language of words
Feelings and expressions
Thoughts and strategies 
Smiles and laughs
Became an artificial drama of an actor
Does his role very latently

Lie being the reality
Life becomes the reality of lie
From then on
Vanished the soul and
Reborn a different mind

Because of that 
Life being shaped
Before the mirror
He is same but different in soul
