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.
