A Genuine Reaction

Are you sure that what you’re seeing Is a genuine reaction
Can you be sure that what you’re hearing,even means a thing?
Can you look into my face and tell that I’m being truthful
Or do my subtle signs and movement, a lie to the answer bring

Do you know when I am lying, in order to protect you
Can you see when I am using truth to camouflage the lie
When my face Is telling stories of excitement or confusion
While the brain that sits behind my mask is perfecting its disguise

You may think that you are clever with such mastery in your wisdom
You may think that you have organised your life till its Nth degree
But no matter what you’re thinking,feeling,planning or controlling
When you have reached your final destination,It is me that you will see

And here I sit before you, I am the master of Illusion
Pretending deep emotion and playing the drama queen
Pretence from a pretender is but another form of story\
The sleight of hand deceives the eye, but the sleight of minds unseen
