DECEPTION

 "I've been to heaven on earth

Witnessed worse than hell in that heaven

Devils masqueraded as angels

Poison cloaked in their sugary words

Their dichotomous words and actions ever evident

Me searching for good in them still consistent

The malaise called weakness led to an aching heart

Pain became my lone sweetheart

Senses became veritably numb

So much so, it felt I would succumb

Fitting in became a chore

My heart refused to cooperate anymore

Brain tried reasoning

Tongue won't stop whining

Eyes continued raining

The so called hope kept depleting

Few more months is my reasoning,

Really? says my heart mumbling"

MASQUERADE

  "The night has come to collect its due Intense pain, leaving me achingly blue This charade of smiles is all untrue Isn't my life the perfect 'pretend' Look from the surface, aren't their roses so red Come closer, do you find thorns that made me bled The scars that left my skin green Are hard to find, they're covered with a vibrant sheen Disguising it like a flawless damaskeen Acting all strong with all my might I see a cemetery and people dressed in white And again pretend things aren't as bad as I seem to find"
