the starlit nite,shimmering space: silver ripples reflecting my face,
I lower my hand to caress the moon; unfolding from clouds lik a pupa from cocoon,
breeze is calm ambience great; yet my mind fails to find solace,
it gallops on with thoughts galore; eyes go moist with memories of yore,
when,when all this end; soon, very soon it pretends,
it says,
this endless chase has worn me out; not a single day gone past without a bout,
THE REFLECTION OF MY FACE IN
the chase is endless agreed; but its for appreciation, acceptance and to quench the greed
this is what u hve wanted all along; acceptance appreciation from people to whom u belong
MY MIND SPEAKS AGAIN
society is too big to please; no more masks, no more masks i beg u please,
i dont know what i like; i do what others like,
women of beauty and men of power; for them i have had my individuality devoured,
i beg u i beg u please; no more masks for me please,
THE REFLECTION SPEAKS AGAIN,
dont you u want anything to boast; dont you want people to raise you a toast,
every new person is a new season; you shed your skin for he's the reason,
look in the mirror; you see a crowd pleaser a achiever,
no achivement hadnt it been for the masks; yet no more mask is all you ask,
so much attention and love u recieve; yet pain and deceit is all you percieve?
it beats me why you cried; you got all for what u tried!!
MY MIND SPEAKS AGAIN
acceptance, appreciation is what i ask; but for me not for those mask,
love and attention is what they get; pain and deceit is what they beget,
i want to say "me" "who are you?" when people ask; yet all i can say is "i m another mask"
the toast ,the love's not for me; but for the skins which i used to shed with glee,
turn to the mirror and gaze; and all i see is haze,
who am i idont discern; why i cry is non of your concern
for one last time,
i muster the courage and dare to ask; please for gods sake spare me the mask
FOR LAST TIME THE FACE SPEAKS,
i am sorry,
without these masks you wont survive; youll be granted your wish maybe in another life,
society has no place for you without these masks;so keep them on its all that i ask,
for now,there is no "you"; there are only masks;in whose glory you shall bask,
so keep them on till the end; i mean whats the big deal,all you have to do is pretend,
i get up to walk and gaze at the moon;goin to fade in sunlight soon,
thy shall meet same fate and fade in glory which thy basks;belonging not to me but to the masks
