“The Mask and The Mirror”

Keep playing this projected blame game, trying to hang each other—

Pointing fingers because you’re the same,

Or claim a different name.

Proclaim fame in forgiveness free from shame.

There is no freedom in the fast lane.

It’s time to find your way out.

And every time you crouch, and stare down each other like you are about to shout,

Reach out to each other, and find common ground.

It’s somewhere there, around you both.

This is not what you chose, but you can send this pain below.

Just know there is passion and love in the same hate you show each other. ...
