Shapeshifter

Little kids in masks
parading around
for sport.

– eerie familiarity sets

Adults in masks
parading around
for life.

    I like this! So true! Children do not take anything seriously. Life is a game to be played. But as we grow up and become indoctrinated by civilization and its rules, the mask becomes our personality (the word ‘persona’ is Latin for mask).

    Great piece as usual =)

      You always get the real meaning spot on. Yeah and half of us go through life unaware of this mask we wear and it’s nearly impossible to just ‘shed’ it.

      Thanks for the insightful comment.
