The Mask

It takes the edge off

You would say

I want to drink and smoke pot

Life is so dull

It did me good too

Erased the violence

Masked the anger

Made me chilled out

I need to seek thrills

To feel something

Fill up the pit

Mask the void

Epicurean to the core

I want to fuck women

Use people

Material gain is utmost

I fool them all

Pretending to care

Displaying empathy

Charming my way through

I’m comfortable with who I am

Not understanding

How deeply very damaged

A shell of a human, you truly are
