i digsuise my happiness
by putting a mask of toxins
over my life
and entertaining guests
while shivers run
down
my
back.
this masquerade of uncertainty
pulls tricks and picks favorites
smoke billows from the epicenter
and i can feel myself dying again.
tears feel almost natural
as they cascade
down
my
cheek.
and land near my heart-
stinging with pain.
and i wonder if i fall alseep
will you wake me up in the morning?
and the phone,
it never rings anymore.
i'm too far up north
and nobody even bothers.
i walked this line
down
this
road.
once more i feel the pain
and almost naturally
a single tear falls to the floor
(i don't feel like picking up the peices this morning)

"this masquerade of uncertainty

I am impressed.
and happy that im the first person on the forum to find this mind-stimulating poem. I relate. that is an awesome stanza right there... i totally feel like my life in itself is sometimes nothing more than a masked version of reality. and the pain is all that keeps me aware that im still living.
