Behind my Mask
Behind my mask that grins and hides
the truths that I am terrified,
though people think I'm speaking clear
tis just my teeth chattering fear
to again unbe a faceless thing no one has eyed...
I didn't Be before arrived
I shan't Be beyond that Great Divide,
when my face wears death's toothy lear
where my blind eyes shed no more tears
Behind my mask.
So I act as if normalised
but see the coming beyond my living eyes
nearer and nearer with passing years
ignoring my rage and fruitless tears
forced unborn on time's relentless tide
again made faceless, but, trying to hide,
Behind my mask...
