Facade

I see you’ve changed.

You’re nothing like the one I used to know. I see you’ve worked hard to start over again. You’ve got a new life, new friends, new everything.

You must be proud of yourself.

I see you’ve put on a mask too.

The mask looks a lot like you yet it isn’t real. They think it’s who you are. I know better. I always have.

You try so hard to hide it all but it’s pointless..

The day comes and you see me after all these years.

You crack.

Now there’s the one I used to know.
