Charade (Remove filter)
In The Foyer Of Hotel Lonely
Being lonely is so wearing
Eyes averted fingers drum
Lasering of furtive glances

Repressed passion lashes

Terror of getting through
Fears that come unbidden
Desire versus inhibition
Self-image sorely racked
By corroded self-esteem
Egos that failure hacked
Behaviours only reinforce
Self-loath...

Sensitivity paid no heed to
justifying fake defense
Apparent picture painted
with every hue gone awry
From projected on surface
actuality remains a far cry
