Masquerade Doll

Masquerade doll.Concealing every inch of you.Masking your eyes,your scent,your very existence.Do you fear the eyeof the world,the hand of God,or the heart of a lover?Why play make believein such a strange reality?Does blue about your eyesfool the sky?Does crimson on your lipstrick the sea?Does color in your hairmisdirect the air?Don't you knowthat these don't really care?The weight of who you aretells the taleof your life.You were bornwith eyes that perceive lightone certain wayand that will never change,no matter howyou shift your shape.Are you trying to changehow you interactwith this reality,or how this realityinteracts with you?I think you've got it confused.Someone's fooled youfor their own amusement.Why do you hide?Those that  careknow who you are.The masqueradeis only baitfor wolves on the prowl.One day,I hope you see the placethat was made for youand wear your facewithout being afraid.HG - 2022
