Masked

By Phoenixwriter @naesnest

I lived for you all of these years
Slowly, I began to disappear
I know you meant no harm. No bad intent
Our paths crossed that was all, we made an attempt
Instead of letting the paths cross and go separate ways
We forced them to entwine, contorted and combine
I can no longer follow man, I have to live for me
I can no longer pretend, I hope you can see
I fear your disappointment, rigid are your ways
Mine has no structure, swirling windy days
I do have faith, I am holding on tight
I know you will pray, all will be right
I will always love you, this is still true
I removed my mask, I am revealed to you
Naked I stand, my heart showing through
All of my colors, minus the blue
Blue was the sadness you saw in my eyes
Now it is gone, since I realized
Hiding myself, the true me
Was draining my eternity
A slow leak in my pipe
My spirit slowly leaving, I was losing sight
I denied the divine , risking my soul
Taking a chance to never be whole

Without hope, without faith

A lost soul,

Forever

Misplaced
