Unmask Your Mask
MASKS
I have all these masks and no one asks
just one of many fruitless tasks
I tried so desperately to sell my work
you encouraged me and failed me
you fucking lied to me
all this work and all these masks
will never find their rightful place
implanted on a human face
presenting dark perfected grace
revealing monsters deep within
behind my masks' perverted grin.....
THERE WILL BE NO MASKS THIS YEAR!!!!
No masks to cover the human beast
this year the true creature will be released
as the masks that you all wear every day
will be ripped away
to reveal the true creature lying behind it
the true beast released
gnashing its teeth as it's thrashing
in pain and pure madness
It's A difficult task towards obtaining such bliss
don't ask, I promise to assist you with this
just one of many fruitless tasks
I tried so desperately to sell my work
you encouraged me and failed me
you fucking lied to me
all this work and all these masks
will never find their rightful place
implanted on a human face
presenting dark perfected grace
revealing monsters deep within
behind my masks' perverted grin.....
THERE WILL BE NO MASKS THIS YEAR!!!!
No masks to cover the human beast
this year the true creature will be released
as the masks that you all wear every day
will be ripped away
to reveal the true creature lying behind it
the true beast released
gnashing its teeth as it's thrashing
in pain and pure madness
It's A difficult task towards obtaining such bliss
don't ask, I promise to assist you with this

UNCOMFORTABLE THOUGHTS
I often have uncomfortable thoughts
Very much so I always get hurt
No matter how much I smoke
It's always there trying to make me choke
As they say your thoughts become actions
Around my people my actions become questioned
You might think I'm the one faking
I'm the realist,I just got my internal issues
These words here seem to be the hardest to write
I hope the pain I feel will inevitably go away with no doubt
When I walk the streets I often feel I was not meant to be in this life
People look at me and I think it's me they despise
I used to put on a mask just to see them smile
But it was me who was unhappy,it was all a lie
Now this is me without a mask,I feel so alive
My uncomfortable thoughts will soon fade away keep that in mind
Very much so I always get hurt
No matter how much I smoke
It's always there trying to make me choke
As they say your thoughts become actions
Around my people my actions become questioned
You might think I'm the one faking
I'm the realist,I just got my internal issues
These words here seem to be the hardest to write
I hope the pain I feel will inevitably go away with no doubt
When I walk the streets I often feel I was not meant to be in this life
People look at me and I think it's me they despise

But it was me who was unhappy,it was all a lie
Now this is me without a mask,I feel so alive
My uncomfortable thoughts will soon fade away keep that in mind

DREAM OF SHAME
when i was three
i dreamt myself naked
on stage
before a great audience laughing
in the glare of star dust lights
i was horrified
no doubt the beginning
of a need to cover-up
thus
the birth of a lier
my soul and destiny
a terminating lotus bud
nocturnal pulse
a tarnished soul
shuddering in a cave
what i do
a veiled secret
am i despicable ?
being what i should not be
loving what i should not love
wanting what i should not want
and then i discovered you
disguised
will you come out
and be who you shouldn't be
but are
take what you shouldn't want
but crave
and love what you shouldn't love
but die without
im here
frightened and exposed
aghast and in love
waiting for you

the man with the plan
I am the man with a plan
I rhyme you as much as I can.
Maybe someday you will see
My words branch just like a tree.
I branch rhymes in any theme
Putting messages in between.
But my favourite is your face
Driving my thoughts right into space.
Your favourite waste of time
Should that shared with mine.

Driving my thoughts right into space.

Congratulations to the winners. Pheonix, Snugglebuck and Zebrablack. Brilliant entries. My thanks to all the talented writers that sent in their entries. All of them were awesome, so it was a bit difficult to pick the winners. I was helped by non DU members and the results are as announced. Thank you all once again. Please be with me in my next competition.
