Mardi gras
there is nothing better than to be original
too many people think its cool to be identical
losing yourself to pick up a face of someone else
degrading others just to put a notch in your belt
you might think no one knows your in a costume
the zipper on your neck is bound to show
Soon the sad thing is you forget that your acting
i bet the masquerade must get really distracting
how can you function when you have to pretend
the real word is calling dress up has to end
you do everything just to cover up who you are now
you dont even know the truth youve gone so far

This was excellently put! There are far too many people out there who seem contented with a lie, who are perfectly happy to pretend their lives away unconcerned by the "zipper on [their] neck" it's just ridiculous how far some people will go just to try and "fit in" so that's why I really enjoyed this piece it captures an observationalist's point of veiw very well
Bravo!
Bravo!
