Masquerade

Words hidden behind hands
Whispers of me 
Of who I am 
Who I want to be
Who I will be
But 
I can see
Past those jealous eyes
Twinkling with 
Jealousy 
Please just go away
Those souls 
Hidden by their mask 
Mask of 
Who I want to be
Who I will be
My masquerade 
Which swirls with hidden intent 
The ghosts of me
Are haunting
Wanting to rip the mask off our face
The ghosts 
Of who I am 
Of who I could have been
Of who I will be
My mask
Bejeweled
With humor
With popularity
With smiles
Smokes from the lies
The lies that shackle me to them
The majority
The minority
The mask 
My mask
Their mask
Please just go away
Fold by Fold of the Mask
Shows her
Shows him
Where am I?
I wear the mask
Their mask
