One Mask

One Mask

Maybe one day I will remember who I am
And will stop being deceived by all the spam.

It comes at me from every side
Sometimes I just want to hide.

When I remember who I am
I’ll take off the mask of concepts
I thought was so profound.

Open faced I will accept
I am a child of Precept
I'll not be the
Concept of the spam.
