THE ART OF MASK AND DISTRACTION
A crazy world turned upside down
A crafted mask to hide a frown
Painted smiles but inside you drowned
A mastered act not a crack to be found
Perfected but not perfect that’s why it’s bought
Its a lie but seems genuine so the truth is not sought
An appearance of peace within a storm
So believably real no questions form
Keep it together but never to much
To much perfection could give them a hunch
Acting becomes like breathing a means to survive
A protective defense mechanism that’s keeps you alive
When alone you allow yourself to break
You let tears fall you let yourself feel the ache
But you only let in for a short little bit
Can’t risk the chance of possibly losing it
Then you immerse yourself in satisfying distraction
Alluring so tempting a very desired attraction
A stronger emotion not only mental but physical as well
So very enticing it puts you under its spell
Erasing all other thoughts and unwanted emotion
Poof only bliss a temporary magic potion #poem
