who are you today ?

(copyrighted image)

Everyday.

masking our way through.
zombie, zombie; me, you.
living but yet dead inside.
we have no rules to abide.

we are hiding our face;
owning anew self race.

strap on a corset!
are you ready, set?

who you trying to scare?
you cannot know, or bare.
i won't tell - won't share;
to hide everything i care.
radiating the mask's glare.

starting a reputation;
grab the complication.

the hands we see holding ribs;
digging, strangling til the nibs.

criss, cross. jailed bars.
we are living below pars.
black pain, covered tar.
its who we be, who we are.

can't you see? lifes a play;
it is halloween everyday.
we all wear a mask; in fact.
we don't blend in the pact.

if you can tear my mask out,
you'll know what i'm about
you'll see my tired veins;
know what you can't attain.
