Master of Deception, by a rose by any otha name Subscribe to rss feed for a rose by any otha name

Smiling with pain, 
Laughing in misery, 
Wearing a mask of lies, 
A magician with a thousand tricks, 
Everything to decieve the audience, 
Forever watching every move, 
Ready to pick up every mistake, 
A flawless performance, 
Perfected with time, 
Practiced everyday, 
Delivered by the master of mirage, 
Pleasing the hungry eyes, 
Executed faultlessly, 
Just to do the same trick the next night that rises, 
A skilled weaver of tales and lies, 
Always spinning an endless story, 
To amuse the eager ears, 
A person of many faces, 
Never revealing the real one, 
The audience would never approve, 
Unable to take the truth, 
The show goes on, 
Each day the same, 
Just trying to hide my pain

I love this poem. It represents all those that hide they're true selves, for satisfaction from the world.
