I Know You
Your mask told me more than your face ever did
“The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces.”
— Marie Lu
you wear a mask
adorning your otherwise beautiful face
you choose oh so carefully to hide
based on those intimidating crowds
amidst you in which you choose to be a part
you take it off so easily
to choose a new convincing mask
depending on the new faces that surround you
based on bloody experiences of your past
you cowardly let define your future
despite your eager desires to change
you’re worse than the infamous Joker
because his so-called mask is not a mask at all
rather, it is his face
through and through
even though it’s a fucking frightening face
that terrifies all those who surround him
which is his ultimate aim
you think you’re like Batman
hiding your genuine identity for the safety of yourself
but little do you know
you’re throwing yourself under…
