The actor

in our world only held together
by a variety of shells, duping
society with our act of deceit,
to be successful I adopt
furs, feather, scales-
sometimes I am not sure
which pelt I have on
or which hide I am underneath now.
The need for disguise
beggars me,
makes me faithless to myself
and leads me to a more
uncertain way to be
so much so
People mistake me and I
mistake myself.
Stage life over, I am home-
a condition I cannot really call
being alive, hypocrisy-hoarded life, a smile
plastered on my face.
