the mask
that hinders you
would be forever you
a lie and never the truth
Clay Face Mar 2019
One of the thickest shields we guard our egos with is one forged of brittle facade.

In-group, we sling our shields on our backs barricading our collective intentions and feelings that connect us.

Out-group, our shields are presented. Behind it we read off concealed truth engraved magically on the back of our facade.

We perceive losing our shield as a pathway to social death. We will be ridiculed, challenged, and sought after in hatred and disgust.

Thick but fragile. Our shield’s composition is easily seen through. But out of mutual insincere dictation from our facades, both parties ignore the barricade.

If we put down our defenses and toked out-group like we did in-group our collective mind would be broadened.

The now in-achievable would become effortless. A call back...

You wore a complex pattern on your face,
one that I hadn’t seen for a while,
and I didn’t think I could fix it this time.

You looked at me and said “I’m fine, and it’s not your fault,”and the fake smile was plastered onto your perfect freckled face.

I think it hurts more when you lie,
I think you lie more when you’re hurt.

Water turns to ice
and yet, it dissolves
for an immense price
that we try to solve.

The heat upon our skin
ignite fires of anger
but, we never know when
to find any answers.

Many tell deceptions
for their own gain.
But, what they forget
is the sight of perception
with the never ending pain
of lies, for that, is the truest threat.

“You’ve got a friend in me.” –Randy Newman

You spread your lies through the disguise you’ve
Mastered so perfectly. Your sticky, honeyed words had
Me tangled in your alluring web. Each thread smothers a
Different part of my mind and body refusing to see the friend
I once knew had faded away. My thoughts belong to the parasite in
My conscience, trapping the truth in the rotting shell of a new me.
A golden shovel.

Today I am feeling better.
Witch really means worse but for your sake, I lied.
See how easy that was to lie.
Your to innocent.
“When you're older you’ll understand better.”
Everyone says that.
I just don’t want you to end up like me.
Lying I mean.
I lie to everyone.
No one seems to see.
They might be looking into my eyes but they have no idea what I've seen.
I lie because I want one person to see past the walls.
Just one, that can see how broken I am.
Why can’t they see that I need guidance to honesty.
It’s impossible to get out of a dark room that has no light.
Feeling the walls for a mystery.
My hands slide down the walls and stretch way above my head looking for one answer.
One way out.
Another hand perhaps.
Today I am feeling worse then I did before.
See how hard it was to say one truth?

You can forgive a liar,
but lies are poison to the vein.
Hard truths may hurt, but
the pain fades and trust will remain...
Lies are deadly, especially the ones
you try to take to the grave.
Just be honest and tell the whole truth;
don't add or take a thing away...
Truth be told...
