"We walk amongst lost faces
Faded into the shadow cast
Of the people they represent

We men and women,
Even children
Have masks welded to our skeletons

All have felt frigid cold
Crawling, creeping in our skin
Seeping in with the assumptions
Of who we might be,
And probably are

Two seconds of interaction
Come and gone
In a passing glance

We all struggle
To constantly keep
The mask intact"
