Behind all his smiles and silly gestures He longs to walk a thousand miles away He desires to escape from everyday No more small talk Or large gatherings The curtain has CLOSED A contemporary task. **In the eyes of the crowd All they see is the proud facade Entertainment is important And all they care about Forgetting the person behind the PERSONA a temporary mask.** As his mask fades Rabbits shift into sparrows No light at the end Only cued applauds Some flowers And skewed imagery An exemplary stage. **Disappearing into the night Unmasking the illusions he conjured. The sinking reality comes back As Lingering Silence echoes his longing… A price to pay of the famed gift Hoping this will be his last...** ~FINALE~      Justin G / Pax

Masquerade
