Drug Masquerade


Shame is emotional cocaine
Taken to ease the pain 
Caused by the refrain of 
Judgement calling out the name
Belonging to the insane 
Taking aim at her soul
But really 
Blame is alcoholic liquor 
Imbibed, making him sicker 
Instead of quicker 
to recognize his disguise 
The mask she was wearing to 
Avoid the resonating noise of her
Consciousness 
Texting her drunken messages 
With unintentional mistakes 
And she fakes 
A smile 
Only long enough to beguile a response
Only long enough to put on trial 
The witness to her hurt and courtroom-worthy 
Drama
That would put Madonna 
to shame.
