Lost Behind The Mask - A Sonnet

The first chapter starts with a deep cold scream


Silence broken, new life enters our spheres


Reality so harsh, living no dream


To cope with life, a mask always appears




Always smiling, playing along good boy


No one loving lonely actor on stage


A mask causing fateful ending of troy


Oh why never looking behind the page




Giving performances, chasing applause


Losing yourself, forgetting who to be


Your fans waiting, just stop taking a pause


Speeding through life, cutting your roots dead tree




Final curtain falling, viewers strolling


Wasted your time acting, credits rolling
