The Charade

Life is a big charade
An ongoing masquerade

All actors playing there part
Practicing this wonderful art

Art of living behind the mask
Everyone is busy at this task

A fixed grin always on the face
Of real feelings there's no trace

Pretension going on day and night
To play the Snow White or White Knight

While maybe darkness rules inside
And however much one tries to hide

One day the mask will give away
And lo behold on that day

The real face will see the light
Hope it is sunny and bright
