Mask

Wearing a mask, I live in this world.

I’ll try quitting “Do your best!”
Surprisingly, it’s not so bad to let things be.

I’ll try quitting “Fight!”
Pretending to lose is easier.

I’ll try quitting everything, absolutely everything.
The world keeps spinning unchanged.

I live while hiding my ambitions and hopes.

Only those who know benefit.
Only the wise ones are smiling.

Wearing a mask, I live in this world.
