Traveling in the mask

A lonely traveler once traveled

Through the heart of their

Own person and discovered

A journey of massive

Aspiration and wonderment

At the glory of their own

Perceptions into eternity

That lead them to,

Understand the power of their

Own courage in light

Of all that they fought

Against, but were driven to

Always concede to,

By the force that constantly

Drove them to what they

Always feared would result

But aspired to create a person

That some may never know.

For if the traveler let them

Join in the expedition,

The loneliness might fail to grab its hold

On the person who covered all,

To protect the cradle that drove them

To their one and narrow road.
