Mask
Masks, masks everywhere.
Masks aren't easy to bare.

They weigh more than they look,
One could easily be mistook.

Mistook for the truth,
Many get one in their youth.

Masks fake up emotions,
Like a witch's potions.

They're hard to break,
Just one big mistake.

And when they crack,
You fall into the black.

True feelings overpowering,
Towering.

You need to be free,
But you don't want to flee.

Back into rhythm,
Just one big algorithm.

Put it on,
Happiness long gone.

Black and white,
It'll never be right.
