Image for the poem Mask of Sanity

Mask of Sanity

Her screams of pain
Burst through the seams
Wounds he reopens
That make her bleed
Hatred and jealousy
Is what in his spirit lys
He’s a master of puppets
Hidden in disguise
He punishes her
With his reasoning of wrath Treats her opposite
Of who she really is
Justifies his reasoning
By calling her an outcast
Unfreed from punishment
Of his mothers sin
Separating her
From the herd that feed
Crippled her from
Taking flight
He deprives & neglects
Her of all her needs

Erasing her
From the family tree
Right before everyone’s eyes
He’s attached all parties
To his puppet strings
Filling his families ears
A mouthful of treacherous lies
Strutting around
Feathers all fluffed
Like he’s an important
Superior peacock
He throws his money around
Always bearing gifts
Nobody knows who he really is
They know him as the
Good ol bloke
Charming of a calm
And collected disposition
He adopts an alter ego
Plausible and persuasive
Manifests Pity
He believes to be love
Through tactics of manipulation
Staging his victimization
Disregarding morality
Dark triad Machiavellian
Wearing a Mask of Sanity
