Life As Metaphor

I can explain in metaphor The stories of my life As a person who exists But live without control Introducing the countless Characters of my life Each one a segment In muted reflection of me Acting upon the stage Of life's mediocre tragedy All engaged in conversation Forced to exchange pleasantries Living in shame Raging from the half-truths That dresses their lives Afraid of their lust Found in meaning The pain of life Yet in the quiet hours When the curtain falls at last Disrobed from their prejudices Entwined in a single course When their masks of preferred guise Are removed to show the same source.
