donning the mask of bravado – v2
Sitting in the waiting room
the minutes clicking on
the door swinging open
as if the curtain were pulled from the stage
I can picture him before he entered in
as an actor in the wings
puffing himself up
putting on his mask
donning the mask of bravado
the air moving in time
projecting a sense of confidence
but his body betraying him physically
that the whole act was a lie
