This Is Not a Mask

We seek the face behind the masks of existence and non-existence
Yet, behind the innermost mask, we find stark emptiness

Yet, this is not a mask

In this masquerade we wear masks over our masks
Yet, behind the innermost mask, we find stark emptiness

Yet, this is not a mask

The King In Yellow in us asks
Can you see the masquerade for the masks?

Yet, this is not a mask
You are now free
