façade

façade

I sat down in silence.
And it wasn't the comfortable one.
Normally I wouldn't mind this...
But I just wanted to up and leave...and run.
Familiar faces suddenly became strangers
Or maybe my face became strange to them
Because the years before us now only remain a blur.
But the matter is, we are all condemned
To living up an image that becomes so important
But underneath your new layer, there's still a part of you there
The trait that makes you so significant
And it washed away enough for me not to care.
So I heeded through this oddly familiar silence
Long enough to realize things will never be the same again.
