The Crust .



I am layers upon layers upon layers .

How can you ever fathom ?
You 
who believes in the crust .


Sometimes ,
the hidden layers emerge ;
baffling you . 
But the crust persists .

What will you say ,
if I tell you the crust you know so well ,
is not me at all !


The mask which 
you , me , everybody wears ,
this quiet , cold crust ,
to hide scorching , seething lava .
This intact sane face
hiding splintered , fragmented inside .


I would rather 
you stay happy in your belief .
I peeled the layers .
See , I've burned my hands .
