Man With The Mask

By Mohammed Adnan Khan

Creature of many faces

Did not want the world to see

Turmoil inside the spaces

Of his mind for eternity

So he lived inside a shell

Made of pieces of the things

That he thought he knew so well

But all they had done was broken him

The man who he thought he knew

Had changed so much in time

Confusion took over

And now he felt so blind

So he ran far way

Away from the past

The man with the mask

Was not healing

The pain would come

To remind him again

Of the things he had done

With no feelings

Seeing darkness even

When he’s seeing light

Bitter memories

Flood into his mind

Walking slowly

In rains of gray

The people around

Just moving away

That’s when he realised

That he was not alone

Everyone around him

Had masks of their own

So he ran far away

Away from the past

The man with the mask

Was not healing

The pain would come

To remind him again

The things he had done

With no feelings
