The Mask

deep down
buried in the hollowness
of reasons
deep down
rotting in the stench
of prejudice and bias
deep down
crawling under the skin
of pretensions and lies
deep down
thriving suffocated
in abject misery
deep down
drowning in the poison
of one’s vile
deep down
trembling in fear
of being unmasked
deep down
deep deep down
lonely loveless
scared sad
soul
