Mask

Oh such a elegant mask
so colorful and catchy
Everyone is wearing it
Some hidden behind it
Some create illusion with it

Some protect themselves with it
Some gain with it
Some lose with it
Some feint with it

Some look attractive with it
Some seems detestable with it
But remember It’s just a deceiving mask

I am curious about the face behind it
Sometimes I try to peek through
in faint hope of finding the trace of
their innocent smile or that evil smirk
