The Stake That Must Be Claimed Poem by Jessica Gabanyic

It’s the light in your eyes,
That create this disguise,
Within that disguise,
There’s a darkness that hides,
So when in a crowd,
You create your masquerade,
To fit all that they want,

But once they see,
Through the mask you put up,
They will make a scene,
For everyone to see,
With the speculation on,
Your tears begin to fall,

You run to hide,
So no one can decide,
That the fate you chose,
Is one of defeat.
