When In Doubt, Be Someone Else
"When In Doubt, Be Someone Else" By Marcus Cooke
Facade
A Shattered Visage
Another masked Masquerade
society has made.
Come as you are
be yourself
when in doubt
be someone else.
Who shall i be today?
handsome, charming
a easy lay?
the joker, the fool,
the life and the soul.
I blame society
it was there folly
for not saying sorry
its fair to say
they made me this way?
Lost shapes
lost monopoly pieces
pieces of tin
bits of the jigsaw puzzles
that don't fit in
scattered thoughts
and words creeping
with stealth
all identity is lost
if your not comfortable
being yourself.
So who should i be today?

Hey Strider
Indeed, i am fascinated how different people see us in society and we act around them. i was toying with a few ideas but have had a bit of writers block.
Many Thanks for reading

So many conform just to fit in instead of being exactly who they are. Quite sad I find.
Excellent pen Marcus.

Hey the lizard queen
That is indeed a nirvana lyric but i have to confess i wasn't thinking about that song
when i wrote this, its just kind of fits
in snugly with the rest of the words
i am sure kurt would approve lol.
Many Thanks
