life is one long series
of costume changes and improvised skits
and sometimes my own performance
makes me physically sick.
i try to appear perfect
to the point of often not showing up
for the pressure of making no mistakes
makes living life awfully tough.
so i try to focus on whats good
and negate the reality of bad
but it's hard in a world filled with horror
not to often be terribly sad.
i see myself for what i am
but i try to change it for everyone i meet
and i make deals and plans with Higher Power
to help me escape my reality.
it always comes back to bite me
because truth is all we have
but i hide mine in a closet
with my heart and my better head.
