When you put on a performance
All you get is applause
Behind the facade and laughter
No one sees the mourn
Torn
From the moment your born
Into this harsh worlds reality
Sworn by the Lord
Through his guidance you shall conquer and defeat
We lose focus forgetting to see
Things for what they were
What they are is mentally made up
In illusions forever stuck
In a world uncaring
Your performance becomes more daring
Your inner self is scared in
Enslaved since you lost sight
Shuffling the hand you were dealt
Enslaved to others
Perpetrating wealth
Enslaved to a man
To his child you give birth
Enslaved to a lifestyle
Which surpasses the means of a poor mans world
Enslaved to a women
Who inside’s still a little girl
Are the performances of the world
In life’s full deck
I cannot name them all
I don't know which card is
NEXT
