Day after day
And night after night
Waiting and hoping
And biding my time
I feel so glad
I am relieved
That finally
I can see
The mask
The face
The smile
So fake
And I am glad
To have
Escaped
I am free
I am me
And glad to be
Tag fake
Fake Laugh
Apparently I have a ‘fake’ laugh. My daughter always points it out. It is her mission to make me aware of it. Often when she, or someone else, is saying something and a response is required, I will laugh. And then she responds, ‘fake laugh’. And so it goes. It happened again today!
Closed Book
You have no idea what lays behind the mask I wear
You wear a mask
You do not show
The man you are
I could not know
The man you are
Remove the mask
Reveal the soul
Behind those eyes
Or stay hiding
If that is
Your choice
