Masks - Poem

[yellowhorde]

MASKS


Smiling masks with cold eyes

Hostile spirits in disguise

I see you

I see beyond your masks

You cannot fool me

Hands out expectantly, in greedy demand

Acid words hissed behind backs

I hear you

My ears burn with your secrets

Who do you think you are fooling?

To the world you present your false colors

But I am not deceived

As I slip silently through the halls

Taking in everything

Speaking nothing

Don't you understand?

I know!
