Shadows of Deceit

Folder: 
[2005] Melancholy

I hide away from the world

In my solid circle I stay

I remain out of the shadows of deceit



I wear a mask so the world can’t see, what lies inside me.

I masquerade my inner self, from the rest of the world.



In this way I don’t have to reveal the tears

Cascading from my eyes



But deceivers try to tear my mask away

They want me to reveal all inside

To expose my deepest and darkest



They spread their black shadows of deceit upon me

They intoxicate me with their rage and hate.

They overpower my mind and soul

Damn this is a GREAT poem. I love it, and I do this all the time.
It was like I was reading my inner self when I read this.
Great Job.
