The Many Faces of Perception
Mask of different kinds, textures and appearances
Some may be scary, some making an impression
As we are wearing each of them in instances
While facing people on our first introduction
Containing the dignified concealed persona
Along with a feigning camaraderie
Distinguished by an emanating aroma
A delectable touché derived quality
Ceaseless skirmishes in a realm of hide and seek
Where it is compulsory to screen your presence
For the unknown is a ghastly capricious freak
Running wild in the pursuit under false pretense
Locked in a fantasy-filled penitentiary
Where our only valid verity is faux pas
Everything’s on borrowed time and temporary
Placed out stationary like a diorama
Adhered in the many faces of perception
Are based on true events, foreboding narrative
Mendacity drawn details with smug attention
A conquest for survival in order to live.
