A Mask of Fear Hiding Every Face (I Am)
A mask of fear, hiding every face,
Where smiles are hollow and eyes embrace
The panic’s raw display beneath the guise,
A jester’s mask hides screams that fade to gray.
A front of charm, where terror’s visage thrives,
The truth is buried, though deception drives.
Behind the laughter, shadows silently creep,
A carnival of ghosts in twisted sleep.
Each grin conceals a maelstrom’s stark descent,
A masquerade of dread, where no one’s spent.
The eyes betray a truth they cannot mask,
In every fleeting smile, a deathly task.
A mask of fear, hiding every face,
Where smiles are hollow and eyes embrace
In every fleeting smile, a deathly task,
Behind the laughter, shadows silently creep.
A mask of fear, hiding every face.
The Weight of Dread Pressing Down Heavy (I Am)
In a room so draped in leaden gloom,
Lies a man who dreams of his own tomb.
With dread so thick, it’s like the air is glue,
He questions if he’s still alive, or if he’s through.
He tried to lighten up with jokes so dry,
But the weight of dread made him ask, “Why try?”
His heart’s a boulder, his mind a foggy sea,
He wonders if he’ll ever feel truly free.
Each step he takes, a burden in disguise,
His world is an anvil, pressing, full of lies.
He laughs at fears that tether him so tight,
But all his humor fades into the night.
The clock ticks on, each second feels like years,
The heaviness of dread is fed by unseen fears.
He smirks at shadows that loom just out of reach,
Yet they creep into his soul, lessons they don’t teach.
He wrestles with his fate, grim and unkind,
A dark tragedy, his life redefined.
In every bitter chuckle, the pain is clear,
His dread’s a shadow, hanging near.
He dances with his demons, grinning through the haze,
Yet the weight of dread keeps him locked in this phase.
A somber humorist in a world so dark,
He finds his footing in this heavy, grim mark.
In a room so draped in leaden gloom,
Lies a man who dreams of his own tomb.
With dread so thick, it’s like the air is glue,
He questions if he’s still alive, or if he’s through.
