My outer display
is what I portray
I'm cast in the show
this role that I play
This person you see
a facade, it's not me
I choose what I show
and who I will be
Somewhere deep inside
A place where I hide
the person I was
he left or he died
A mascot, I don
A costume put on
I act as I should
The true me is gone
A hologram show
Was lost long ago
who is the real Mike
I no longer know
