PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Shed me like a second skin

yet continue to hide the evil within

Drop me without a second thought

Falling into the pain you brought

If I placed a mirror beside you

I am convinced it could see through

the layers of masks upon your face

Causing them to vanish without a trace

You shall be left with your reflection

Exposed to the world without protection

Run as fast as you may travel

yet the many layers shall be unraveled

I shall chase you close, holding the end

of a mask that will not cover again

Your reality shall be revealed to all

as soon as I lift myself up from the fall

You shall plead for your abandoned skin

the one which concealed the evil within

Yet I obtain my own soul, and do not need

to follow the steps of your deceptive lead

As the masks crumble one by one

and the world around you comes undone

Attempt to find an honest soul inside

Creating a place where you will not hide
