Modus Vivendi
The mask that I wear has won the game
I seek not money, glory, beauty or fame
I look for only the removal of pain
We are always interested only in gain.
Running from the darkness
The pit
The abyss
Pain is and understatement compared to this.
The dissolving of the soul
The disappearing heart
The chemical love
From which we cannot bear to part
The hate we consumed
The spirit of Satan exhumed
The façade
The mask of kindness
Is all we pursue
Never the long road
Always the short cut
The door is open to wealth
But to helpless always shut
I may not be beautiful
My face may not be perfect
But beauty is nothing
The silence crying is worth it
The world we live in soulless and empty
The depressed and depressing, modus vivendi

Good poem you got here, dude. Your rhymes were nice (could have been more fluent), you made it work. Beautiful, sharp ending. Very meaningful write, it's great. Keep going bro, and welcome to the family (of DUP poets):)
