Masquerade

Masquerade By MEH3 One soul Two faces Behind the mask you wear Hiding from the real you Trying to figure it out Living in doubt Thinking you have it all figured out Until you looked in the mirror not recognizing the reflection that is there Adjusting the frame Only to realize the mask was still there Oops, there we go (as you remove the mask) Refreshing to see the real you At least I thought I guess that is the person I feared The real you The one who doesn't care What happened to your heart The kind, gentle you Hold on, do not go turning your back on me again Oh there you go As the mask reappeared What a beautiful smile that seemed to be there A loving soul Would you like to stay for a while? Let's converse since I have you here Wait, why so angry now Is this a curse Thought I found my queen Then I noticed This was a Masquerade Ball #ItzMeThePoet
