• Caught in an eternal masquerade,
    Wanting but unable to stop.
    My true face has begun to fade
    Since this façade doesn’t seem to drop.

    This fake mask I’ve created
    Has been etched into my being.
    I’m not myself anymore
    And I feel as if I’ve lost everything.

    I’m tired of this meaningless pretence
    I simply want it to end.
    But my real identity has been erased
    And is in a state, no one can mend.

    I wonder if this masquerade will continue
    Till my very last breath.
    But only time will tell the answer
    And until then, I’ll silently await death.
