Poetry: The masks we wear

Two of me

Sometimes I feel there are two of me

One thats good and true to thee

Then there's that other side of me

That loves to fight maliciously

To bring up things that we'd laid to rest

To drag us through that horrible mess

To bring fresh tears to your eyes

A part of me where the devil lies

Then there are times when your all I see

When I love to smell your scent on me

When your wants come before my needs

Then I start those evil deeds

I plant some doubt inside your head

and I make you question all I said

Was that truly me you hear

Or is that Satan in your ear

I sit here now and wonder why

I want to break you, see you cry

I'm not evil, I just can't be

So why is this such a part of me

Whenever smiles touch my day

I start to feel you need to pay

The tears of confusion on my face

When you finally walk away

So I need to figure out desperately

What the hell is wrong with me?

    I wear a mask of wisdom,
    Yet can not control my life.
    I wear a mask of courage
    That crumbles 'for my wife.

    I weave a life

    I call upon you
    Persona
    My only mask
    To shield me

    To show them
    My ineffable self
    Lost in translation
    Behind my only mask

    A Closer Look

    When riddled by behavior
    You don't understand
    When you're reaching out
    To give someone a hand

    When someone says

    People judge and point the finger
    Make decisions even if they are wrong,
    Truth and honesty fail and falter
    Where lies and deceit
