Everyday Is Halloween
A constant concern that is no afterthought
Living life, trapped in an eternal All Hallows Eve
For each have donned their masks
All the while, wiles remain hidden
Beautiful facades adorned with jewels of misdirection
The sly and cunning plot with conniving concentration
For their true intentions are hidden
But be not fooled, nor arrogant
Such as it is, place yourself in front of a mirror
That is when the true terror reveals itself
In the form of your own mask
For true terror lies not in what is known, but what is unseen
Unbeknownst as to who trods along side you
Unsure who's watching from a different view
Are they your words, or does the mask speak for itself?
Yes, what alluring masks we all wear
Living life, trapped in an eternal All Hallows Eve
For each have donned their masks
All the while, wiles remain hidden
Beautiful facades adorned with jewels of misdirection
The sly and cunning plot with conniving concentration
For their true intentions are hidden
But be not fooled, nor arrogant
Such as it is, place yourself in front of a mirror
That is when the true terror reveals itself
In the form of your own mask
For true terror lies not in what is known, but what is unseen
Unbeknownst as to who trods along side you
Unsure who's watching from a different view
Are they your words, or does the mask speak for itself?
Yes, what alluring masks we all wear

Author's Note
I like to think of myself as a good judge of character. However, in this day and age I have begun to question myself. That is truly terrifying.

It's definitely concerning having to wonder what everyone's intentions are
