Façade

You drift through life
Like sand moving in a desert
Never still always moving
And never ever taking part


You appear, you smile
You pretend to show interest
And go before anyone knows
Do you ever stop and rest?


Like the Moon peering round a cloud
You never reveal your true self
Avoiding conversations when you can
Will you ever be yourself?


Why are you so aloof?
What do you hide from us all?
When we try and engage
One day your façade will fall.
