The Fraud by Olha Tepliuk

 Have you ever been a fraud?

Who are you

The core thing

Question, unrelieved with thought.

Boom

The shaking is nearby

Cold

Mask on face made to survive

Boom

Broke in action, forced to lead

Fake

Stoic face made you succeed

Have you ever been a fool?

Failed to be

The mask of steel

Taken on by your own rule.

Silence

Is always following up

No one

Now needed to be covered up

Lone

With yourself, the mask’s dropping down

Left

With the scars hidden underground

Who have you always been?

The mask of steel

Burning skin

To lead, to survive, to win.
