Beneath the mask.

Hiding behind fixed faces

appropriate to occasion.

Locked down inside,

i'm an animal mechanical

prompted by obligation.

Nod and smile, talk the small stuff,

turn the cogs and shoot the shit.

Whatever, take me home.

Shut me in and leave me be,

Sanctity in silence.

The tone is very bitter, but the scenario is too true, and the poetry itself is really good.
