I wear a mask



I wear a mask,
In the eerie nights.
Living in the shadows,
Where one would fright.

Known from the outside,
Unknown from the inside.
Living in the dark realm,
Of insanity.

Imprisoned my outer-self,
Into the fragments of reality.
That are never to be found,
By any possibilities.

I am a living beast,
Sweet dreams I feast.
Replacing them with nightmares,
That no human can bare.
.
I travel across multidimensional reality,
Wearing a mask full of immorality.
Killing my humanity,
Replacing it with cruelty.

Written By,
Ammar Lokhandwala.
