Behind The Mask

There is more inside

I might smile and smile and smirk

React with dignity and respect

But behind my eyes I see what you are

I know what you did

I stay professional to all, I just play along

But I am still waiting for now

And you there will be cost for your deeds

I have not forgotten but wearing my mask

I gave you everything and you threw it away

Maybe life will get to you just as I watch

I will hide away and just not care

Just keep on going in your corrupt ways

As I appear so nice and treat you with respect

As I hide behind my mask

I enjoy writing for fun. I like to write for several genres including fantasy, poetry, and dystopian, but I am open to trying other genres too. It has been a source of stress relief from my busy life.
