The Mask I Wear

What is this face you see?
Nothing more than a mask of ignorance.
What of this laughter you hear?
Nothing less than the blinding of innocence.
This tattooed smile, sketched permanently
Marking the reason for my being
This plastic face, presented daily
A silhouette of the person you were seeing
Daily encounter with the mirrors
Because I know I secretly control them
You see, they are easily fooled
For they see what I choose to show them
They cannot show me what I wish not to see
And they feed people my delusions
For they reflect the faade placed in front of them
Paving the way for my illusions
Look as you wish, praising my work
You may stare lovingly at my reflection standing there
But you do not compliment me for who you see
But rather yet, you compliment the mask I where.
