#masquerading
I count my blessings
By learning my lessons
The mask I wear is one
So I don't need to please no one
We try to stand tall
But we get into a great fall
Why,you ask?
It's because our faces are full with different masks
Man is animal to man
Stand to fall,raise to descend
That he doesn't wish to extend hands
So he hangs his conscience,and that doesn't make sense
Masquerading around the place,to get attention
If you seek direction,you definitely get
to your destination
Following the heart most times,it might fail us
Because even the best metals,do get rust
That we act tough,even in a simple situation
Making a fool of ourselves displaying such demonstration
What kind of mask do you wear?
Yours or mine?
You are beautiful,no matter what they say
Been a masquerade,most times,it brings the you in you down
So we seek solace in a place where there are no hope
Because,we glitter, and we are not gold
So we dig out own hole,to be buried in
When we seek to act in a world that
isn't ours
So doing so,we are doomed for life
If only the heavens or hell wasn't a word used to subject us
From achieving a lot in life
That we let our naive mindset in most cases fail us.
So I ask?
What mask do you wear?

"...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me.
"I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes.
Scratch that.
In the mask.
He was wearing a mask.

Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong. But when she accidentally boards a pirate ship belonging to the Masquerade Messes, her entire life takes a turn. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse... either way, Vivienne occupies her time by trying to identify her rescuer. He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly.
He's just always masked.
