Hubris

Overloaded ostentation,

Camouflage the flaws we share.

Mundane lies we soon believe

Erase the truth of our despair.

 

Welcome to our masquerade,

Seeking perfection long unknown.

Remain pretentious long enough,

You'll earn yourself this plastic throne.

 

Slaves in chains of one persona,

Divisions of animosity.

Our humanity builds the monster,

Hide the pain until you can breathe.

 

When did we fear the truth,

The day it was crucified?

We sold our names to death,

In hope we could somehow survive.
