Duplicity

Your face,
It's nothing without its mask.
The lies you tell
Represent something that you are not.
Who you pretend to be
Is so much more than you really are.
That gentle exterior
Covers the decayed skin of your reality.
Smooth, milky decadence
Hides the dark, crusty malevolence that is truly you.
Your peaceful voice
Mingles with the cruel, mocking tones of your soul.
Because nothing is true,
Everything is fake.
And there is no way to change
When you don't even realize the corruption.
