Masks (Two at a Time)

it is about shifting your personality around different people but always remaining real and cool

So it takes a bit of time to adjust to a lack of wind
Who'd have thought I'd begin to feel normal again?
Always far from the corner, never near the bend
It's about time Mother Nature treated me like a friend

Now I've tasted sweet and total belief
In a cause much the same but bigger than me
A world inside a man's own head
Choosing who you want to be instead
Of all the crimes, all of the dumb crowds
Dictating me so rough, classless and loud
I no longer hear them squeal

Tea in the dark, everyone's heart
Simultaneously flirting with mine
Nobody stops, nothing to call
Nothing but thin air and tons of time
All these shining masks, yeah, they are mine
And I wear them so well

Not a liar, just juxtaposed
Tight with the truth in tiny rows
I pick and choose whichever suits you best
It's where I am comfortable
I've learned happiness just falls in place
Like all the rest

It's hard to stop when you've felt so bad
And that shove, that push that brings you back
It's nothing to them but it's the blood in my eyes
The key to your lock, the thread in my disguise
And I wear it so well

Tea in the dark, everyone's heart
Simultaneously flirting with mine
Nobody stops, nothing to call
Nothing but thin air and tons of time
All these shining masks, yeah, they are mine
And I wear them so well

"Not a liar, just juxtaposed"

I can relate with this poem..... regardless it was a well done poem. You certainly didn't need to put a description, the poem itself was rather clear of the message you tried to get across.
