Masquerade - Detritus

Smiley happy faces

A hurt filled heart denied

Who cares about the person

If they look good from outside

Ignore my emotions

Let them eat away inside

Lothing left to live for

But at least I kept my pride

Can you ignore love?

Can you endure hate?

Can you live a lie?

Deny the loneliness and pain?

Can you hate yourself?

Attain a darker shade?

Blindly paint your mask

And come and join the masquerade

A childhood fear, a trauma

Oppressed emotions grow

Tangled deep within

A time bomb waiting to explode

The oppressed becomes oppressor

Aggression now unleashed

Thus starts the vicious circle

But the anguish could be peace

Ther etsands your father

Crying at the pain

The perfect answer

Not an object for the blame

The hate, the fear, the pain, the tears, the lies

See through your mind, your pain filled eyes

Washed in the blood, your anguish dies

Your mind set free

Go out and live again
