Masked Deception

Ego found a mask to wear
One that had me fooled…
Almost.
It took the appearance of my inner voice
Eloquent in its verse
Whispering what it wanted me to hear
Yet what it failed to realize
Is that what it said wasn’t truth
Its hollow meaning rang through me
Its vibration sounded like tin
Unlike that of intuition and instinct
Which dance within my being
When they emerge to guide my way
Nice try, masked one
Be on your merry way
I know the deception you wreak.
