Many Masks

Many masks
Adorn my walls
Their empty eyes
Seeming to see all

I kinda wonder
What they see
All those masks
Staring at me

Do they see the sorrow
So deep in my soul
Or the broken heart
Which once was whole

Sometimes I wonder
How I can feel so alone
With so many watchful
Eyes in my home

I wish I could mimic
All the many masks I see
Just hanging on the wall
Not having to be me
