Favorite Quote:
“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.”
― Stephen Chbosky


A face made to scare.
Frightening children and teens alike.
Bright red, green, white, black.
Dramatic features for dramatic action.
Outlining the face with dark asymmetry.
Supposedly evil through and through.
From the eyes
To the nose
To the mouth and
To the bones.
Who would've known the real life tragedy
That would come to the middle aged man behind the mask.
Behind the evil, drama, and painted face
Life and death in this tainted race
That goes on in the night
When the streetlamps are bright
When we fall from the tightrope
The Joker had no hope.

I was thinking about all the fake people in my life and how it is scary to take off your mask but sometimes it is necessary.
