Clear Mask

It sounds like a cliche, "everyone wears a mask". However, I find I am different. I find I must have a special ability. All of these masks I see, they are so clear to me. I see your trembling eyes, they fall in discourse, rage, envy, hate, clashing at once. The face behind the mask, it is no man. I see the beast within you, clenching at your heart. I see your ambitions, your fears, everything. That is why, these tears I cry, they are not mine, truly they are thine.
