#theLSRseries the_scribbler_ : The Mask You Live In

The mask you live in,
The façade you put up,
The stories you make up,
The lies you tell all.
There’s real struggle behind that wall,
There’s sorrow behind those smiles,
There are tears masked by echoes of laughter,
The resonance of laughter in many troubles,
The unheard voices of your million problems…
But all love wants is to know you.
You’ve made your decision,
You’ll hide behind your clothes, your possessions.
You’ll constantly live with your guard so high.
What if love had short legs?
What if love was a little overweight?
What is love wanted straight forward?
Not some empty words and thoughtless actions.

The mask we live in.
Love let you in,
You explored,
You experienced,
You experimented.
You knew love inside out.
Love let you in,
You settled but your mask is still on.
One day love will get tired of having to solve all your actions like some puzzle.
Maybe one day love will say, “I can’t take it no more”.
Don’t let love walk away,
Take off your mask.
Don’t let love leave you behind,
Take off your mask.
Love may get weary one day,
Love will get weary one day,
Love will get up and leave one day,
And this will be because you didn’t let love see your face.
Take of your damn mask!
