Jester's Mask


Behind a jester's mask I hide

A person looks at me and must abide

I live my life with half a soul

The other half where war took toll

I live my life with darkness and despair

Behind my smile I cower in my lair

I do not lie, but am good at bending the truth

When I am alone, I am nothing, aloof

And though I laugh it doesn't reach my eyes

My rambling and smiles are all lies

I scream, I cry, but this mask won't go away

And I can barely face another day

I wish with all my heart and soul for a difficult task

That one day I shall not wear this mask

But until then nothing will change; time will only tell

Oh? My name? I am Shinigami, better known as Duo Maxwell.
