Hollow Masks

sacrificing self-acceptance
for petty public attention
consistently lying to yourself
                         by the guilt
weighed down
it's like borrowing character
from somebody else
those loans won't help
we always end up paying
for all the facades we build

  5. Good points, well said, but of course our imagination explores those other facets, those other faces of ours & others as a matter of muse, of inspiration; as an ex-Actor, now returned to the boards in retirement, I explore those facades even more; good job.
