Mask.

There is a mask on your face,
and one that you hide.
One under, one above
and they effortlessly glide.
You think I know not, but oh I do,
while you are letting your airs ride.
Behind the world's invisible back
and jeer and smrik and snide.
There is a mask on your face,
which you don and look above
ruminate the irony of a sacrilege,
that you need to call it pride.


10 conjurers in all:

I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Thank You for inviting, it is an honour to be invited. :)

I don't wear masks.
I paint my face.
With dubious hues.
To multiply.
