The Masquerade
I hope you enjoy this!
The Masquerade
Oh joy! A masquerade today!
What fun and games it will be
To choose the person that people see
Sophisticated or lame
Rich or peasant
Oh what to be at the masquerade!?
Fun’s what I seek.
This mask has color
The eyes are cut with a twinkle and outlined in a smile
It goes well with this vibrant dress
With red and gold so rich and bold
No one will know me at the masquerade.
Moving ceremoniously, almost systematically
The learned dance contains a beauty
Intricate moves, well rehearsed
All preformed with people unknown
Secret identities
You can be who ever you want at the masquerade.
What it was at the masquerade.
A game of lies and spies
Finished now and to home I return
To my true self; to the pain I hold
Sleep now to ease the pain
Dreaming of the masquerade.
Waking up. Oh joy!
A masquerade today!
Time to choose the person that people see
A mask to hide the pain
Cause everyday is a game of lies and spies
When life is an endless masquerade.
