In The Foyer Of Hotel Lonely

Being lonely is so wearing

Eyes averted fingers drum

Lasering of furtive glances

Pain of self-conscious hum

 

Repressed passion lashes

Barricades vast but hidden

Terror of getting through

Fears that come unbidden

 

Desire versus inhibition

Self-image sorely racked

By corroded self-esteem

Egos that failure hacked

 

Behaviours only reinforce

Self-loath...

Masquerade

 

Evident charade in milieu

each with made up guise

 

In world of make believe

full of social compromise

 

Realism often shrouded

on face of false pretense

 

Sensitivity paid no heed to

justifying fake defense

 

Apparent picture painted

with every hue gone awry

 

From projected on surface

 actuality remains a far cry
