Smoke and Mirrors

Xander/Elyse

why do i even try

to be someone i know i am not

and whom others wish i was?

why do i allow myself

the pain of faking my image

when i know i should just be myself?

why do i torture myself

by being an illusion

like smoke and mirrors?

    It is so good to be just yourself on your own but when we go out we all put on different mask for differing situations.
