You and I

We think differently you and I,

for all the things that matter...

I think that we are worlds apart,

And you say that's for the better.

Like most I think in logical lines

While on edges you skip the rope,

You say I worry ahead of times

But that's just how I cope.

I tiptoe around weighing rights and wrong

You run amok, chasing dreams

overriding my doubts, hesitations and worries,

Trusting everyone is how they seem.

I would be cross and stand by watching

As your naive choices make you choke,

But bear not could I, the laments of the soul

The time when last you broke.

So I tag along playing the villain,

In the love stories of life gone awry

For you may turn blind, as love often does,

I have seen much worse and scary.

For I may not play the field,

But love can even be my domain.

As every little spark you feel, O heart,

Is engraved forever in me, your Brain.

The Mask

A time did come, once upon,

She wore a mask, just to move on.

Hiding her tears of despair;

Days went by, but the mask stayed there.

Her mask so perfect,

All smiles, no scars.

To others, so bright, so fair…

And in this self, she went so far,

She forgot the mask was even there.

With the mask though came, a persona of its own...

Of porcelain skin, an aura of stone.

Falling in line, true feelings unknown,

Admired by many and yet so alone.

And finally, one day, when she faced the mirror,

A stranger’s face stared back at her in terror.

In vain she tried, the mask didn’t peel,

Clinging to her skin, with claws of steel.

She and her mask, were now a pair,

Like Yin and Yang, both fighting to be there.

Distant and wary, but still willing to care, 

Wading through the ugly masks, people intentionally wear.
