Masquerade

A collection of cute conditions to concur;

Doubt disappears with a daring disguise;

Shiny scars of shame, the sequins scatter

Jewels of judging jealousy laced with lies.

Paint over the past pain still pressedly present;

Failures never found in flaunting feathers;

Garnish golden glitter to glisten and glint,

Though charming it covers up true colors.

Robe with regretful ribbon that ruins;

Beads beam at the world, but behind it’s bare;

Veil the vexation with the same glued grin,

And sprinkles of sunshine never to share.

Must master the masking of misery;

Is it so scary to let someone see?
