Masks - Poem
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!
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!
