Please Hear What I'm Not Saying.

Don't be fooled by me.

Don't be fooled by the face I wear.

for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,

masks that I'm afraid to take off,

and none of them is me.


Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,

but don't be fooled,

for God's sake don't be fooled.

I give you the impression that I'm secure,

that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as well as without,

that confidence is my name and coolness my game,

that the water's calm and I'm in command

and that I need no one,

but don't believe me.

My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,

ever-varying and ever-concealing.

Beneath lies no comp
