Tear My Mask

Gewar

My heart is twitching,
And I need to close my eyes,
When I see you burst in flames,
And my face is flinching,
Scared that they would find me there,
They'd see how I am tricking them.
Say what I’m afraid to say.

Take me down,
To the hollow crowd,
Tear my mask,
Show them my despise,
Of their righteousness,
Full of pride and lies,
Make me dance,
Laughing in their face,
Make them think we’re mad.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Written after witnessing someone speak out with a kind of honesty I often hold back. It’s about the clash between composure and raw truth — and about the strange gratitude that follows when someone says aloud what you’ve been silently carrying.
