You laugh
when I cry
I'm beginning to see the reason why....
A Deception!
The mask was
beautiful
Dazzling me into thinking it was real.
All I saw was
The subtle words of wisdom's lips
The breathtaking understanding of its soul's eyes
The incredible sameness
The comforting differences...
And some
shadows lingered
But I pushed them away
The echoes of warnings
That I wouldn't accept
For the
beautiful mask gave me
Brimming happiness
Uncontrollable joy
A peek into the unknown...
And then the
shadows grew
The echoes made sense
The beautiful mask was no longer
And as the
light shined on it
Was that also a mask?
Its ugly darkness confronted me
As the awe passed away, fear took its place
My heart broke when I saw
The contorted shape of hate
My soul cried when it understood
The devious shadows of hypocrisy
My being trembled when I knew
The terrifying realization that behind the mask was nothing...
Did I see a
shadow of understanding?
Was there a trace of hope after?
Was this horrible specter a mask as well?
No, no, no
The lack of
spirit,
of joy,
of truth,
of honesty,
And all that remained was reality
In a bitter moment I was forced to admit
That what had been, wasn't real
And what was now, was nothing. /td>
