 THE  MASK








"Love is a game that two can play and both win"

(Eva Gabor)






~SigsByDarlene~





Painted face masked deceit
I wear it very well
Am I happy am I sad
You can never tell



Hid behind this odyssey
That's never black or white
Do the eyes tell the story?
Sometimes I think they might



Painted face masked deceit
I'm different but the same
Dare not point a finger
There's only me to blame



Masks for all occasions
A fake is all you'll see
Painted bits of plastic
Never sharing the real me



Painted face masked deceit
When did it all begin?
So lost now inside myself
Freedom I'll never win



Recollections of what was me
Dispelled in the wind
What's behind the mask
A yearning for the end.
