The Mask of Existence
I borrowed a mirror and embarked on a quest to truly discover myself
I saw a wonderful sight
I saw countless characters being played their roles
All those faces were mine, but I was not among them
I saw myself wandering,
Chasing countless possibilities in every direction
Saw myself drifting away from my soul
I was wrapped in light, looking for brightness
I was illuminated by light but was afraid of the darkness
Many sad faces of mine were seeking sympathy
Many smiling faces were hungry for praise
I found myself alone in a desolate world
Where I could see my existence being mocked
I was the king of those fake characters,
but still, I was their slave
I wanted to see a real glimpse of myself
But even there I was confused,
any faces appeared before me
I could not recognize myself among them
I was lost, this was the only reality
The mirror I borrowed to know my inner reflection
Now it's time to return it back
This momentary journey set me on a quest for a purpose
In search of myself, the only purpose left is
A search of self.
