is this what we wanted

are we merely echoes- of our former selves.

Who bled out our welcome- knives up on the shelves.

we're the best pretenders i've ever seen.

there should be awards for those like you and me.

Who can hide all their faces

can hide all their fears

can shift into darkness

live smoke and mirrors

we were always too clever

for our own good.

always too concerned...

for only our good.
