Passing

Enticed by the devil
Vowed to be his
Buried my past
Birthed his kids

Fear gripping terror
Of generations curse
Will be sure to rat me out
And haul me to the hearse

So I wear the mask
Of porcelain white
Sleep with the enemy
Stay out of sight

From old friends and new ones
Who read between the lines
Shattering my facade
Shortening my time
