The Lies We Hide Behind Us Poem by Vin Ace

Masked and smart we don our looks,
In kingly strides, we surge and boost.
On top the world although we seem,
Above the skies to all, we're deemed.
But truth be told we should be shown,
And all our many sides to all revealed,
In my mind, I ponder and contemplate,
If all around us remain or run.

In smiles, hurt, pain and rage hide,
Under the cloak, much sores to find.
Behind the swag cut, sweat and tears,
And all the sores we hate but hide too well.
The outfit we sport, so dazzling they seem,
Just hiding behind the rips, holes and splits.
If our hearts and thoughts we pour to thee,
How can you acknowledge and assist?

Repent and turn, so your sins be wiped,
Come to me…, heavy burdened, and get rest.
We've heard it all, so easy it seems,
But this salvation, too far to reach.
I plea to someone to sit and see,
Behind it all, we're just broken and pissed
Oh, so we long to see the light bright,
