Trapped within these walls,
Floor breaking slowly, afraid to fall
Told that I must give it my all.
But as I look through the cracked windows,
All I see are corrupted shadows.
They smile and laugh, act kind to keep their disguise.
It isn't until closed doors, that you will realise,
Either toxic, sadness, want fear, and hurt lurk in their eyes.
I squirm and plead,
As they bring the smiling mask towards me.
Put it on my face,
Be one of their race.
Pretend, play games
And never bring up my true name.
It works for a second, the hidden evil,
Till i break the mask to their avail.
As i kick, shove, cry and run
I can tell the pain has just begun.
Block out all their worries and fears,
I turn back for a second to see their tears.
I begun to realise,
As I cracked their disguise,
Through all the hidden lies.
A reason to hide behind a mask,
To do such demeaning tasks.
Is to find a way to forgive their inner sin,
To find a way to win
In this world, to only be able to fit in.
