Just when does the crack in it begin?
how long does it really last...
Sometimes you think you can fix it
try to hold it back,
that crack in the mask.
Maybe it's your fear
that makes the crack give birth to more
like roots, roots of failure.
Failure in the mask you made
your handcraft that was supposed to keep you
keep you safe.
patched up those cracks with your past
something told you it'd make things right
But looking out at those, those eyes that watch you
ever so closely.
It breaks. That mask. The handycraft of yours.
It splits, and shatters, heaves itself from your face
And all are exposed to that weak, fleshy nakedness
Nakedness of you, the very being of you.
Drops to the floor, little diamonds of strength.
The remnants of your fake, all of it.
Started by a crack.
