Why wear a mask?
Funny that you ask
So many asleep in their head
Supplying the mask until they are dead
As long as the mask is affixed
The facade cannot be nixed
The payment is admiration and adulation
Or expect a timely extermination
Euphoria over love day in and day out
Make sure you provide or youll be thrown out
You cannot escape the masks disdain
The mask rejoices off of others pain
One minute you are the hero
The next minute you are a zero
Brace yourself for the inevitable smear
All because they can’t look in the mirror
Desperately vying for superiority
While concealing its inferiority
Learn to stand on your head
Or you are as good as dead
Walking on eggshells is a must
Or risk being turned into dust
The mask steals identity
It does not care as there are plenty
The mask uses people as a utility
It does not care about humanity
Truth and people do not matter
Delusion is worshiped at the altar

The narrative is what matters most
All so that the mask can boast
Ego spikes and giggles above all
The mask loves watching you fall

Empathy and love is not on the radar
The masks are the ultimate degrader
Use and abuse is the masks creed
A plan to make the heart bleed
The mask hates self reflection
It prefers projection to protect its deception
Boredom is a deadly sin
Even a clown could not win
To defeat the mask is no easy feat
Reasoning with the mask will only end in defeat
You must remove yourself from its devouring presence
If you wish to save your essence
Once you remove yourself from the masks vampiric extraction
You can ascend to a new elevation
As you are in this duel
Know that it’s a dance strictly for fuel
Once you see what the mask is all about
You will heal without a doubt
