shape shifter

Thought hider.
Shape shifter.
Mask provider.
...Soul drifter.

Indulge me just a little while
And I can wipe out this bitter grin,
Replace it with a Mona Lisa smile:
None in tune with what's within.

Both are ever posing a riddle
About what's lying underneath:
A hug broken off in the middle
Or a dagger ready to unsheathe.

Thought hider.
Shape shifter.
Mask provider.
...Soul drifter.

I feel so very diamond-shaped
With multiple sharp facettes.
My true form is ever draped
Like a subtle joke that no one gets.
