Suddenly
he appears
slipping
slithering
into the room
nobody knows
he is here
playing
make-believing
as if he is real
calm and cunning
he creates
tricking all
within his reach
even he negates
that sickening feeling
much too late.
Maybe you’ve seen him
once or twice
acting out
in spite of life
the imposter is real
in his mind
hiding out behind
behind
this melting facade
called mine.
