People in Plays 
He goes through life with a mask in hand
Choosing to play a role in someone else's life
Trying so hard to make others believe
To fall victim to the lie that consumes him
Unsure of what he's become
Confused about where he is
Having lost all identity
Asking who he is, and where he's gone
He's hiding from the truth
Acting like another man
Losing track of himself
Realism wadded in his hand
All his personalities twisting
Rolling up into just one
Not a trace of what he began with
Not even a way to be his own
Like people in plays
All acting for a cause
Never seeking to become a hypocrite
By way of confused judgmental flaws
When you step away
From who you are
And what you have come to portray

Just a piece of reality remains
Reminding you of your sold out self
And who you used to be
