Masquerade

Masquerade

By AngelMorph

There is no way,

To describe my every day,

Using just one word

My life is constant fear,

Survival, to me, is dear.

In order to survive,

In a place where evil thrives,

I am forced to wear a mask.

Why is this? You ask.

I fight a secret war.

Evil loiters at my door.

But little choice is left to me.

A secret, this all must be.

If it slips to anyone,

My life will be as good as done.

I cannot tell a single soul,

Or I may have to pay a toll.

I'd be putting a lot in danger.

I bear too much for a mere teenager.

I strive to save humanity,

And risk losing my sanity.

There is no way,

To describe my every day,

Using just one word.

The closest match would be,

The word Masquerade
