He's Dancing A Lie

Why does it seem
You always assume that
I'm a fake?
I have no mask,
No facade,
And no past.
I am me,
You are you.

I tell you to
Enjoy the present;
Sing as if it was the
Only way to breathe,
Grasp life between your
Fingers and clutch it
To your face.
Inhale.
But while you listen,
Do you ever try to understand?

I'm beginning to think
That the only one
Truly attending this ball
Is you,
And your jester hat
Covers your eyes
So you have no idea
You're the only one
Dancing this lie.
