Masks of Life

Guilt in silence,
Insecurities in arrogance,
Hurt in coldness,
Worries in fickleness,
Loneliness in anger,
Melancholy in laughter,
Weakness in egotism,
Unfulfilledness in pragmatism,
Fragility in toughness,
Bitterness in indifference,
Frustration in resentment,
Avoidance in predicament,
Deprivation in deceitfulness,
Vulnerability in defensiveness.

Pick and choose, which to use,
Only to find I see right through you,
None other but the truth.

Writer's note: It's funny how life robbed us from our innocence. We walk the lies hoping to conceal ourselves from the world, only to find ourselves revealing them, clearer than ever.
