Forced by circumstances
to wear a mechanical face
barren of feelings
eyes turning in space
A world gone mad
freedom is gone
a barren landscape
not even a song
Encompassed in metal
spirit attempts to break free
breaking the loud silence
a forceful plea
In the darkness
there came a small light
dim at first
then quite bright
The metal softened
away went the fear
thought impossible
came the first tear
Mask breaks into pieces
as spirit breaks free
no more turmoil
journey continues with glee
