Challenge
The key is to use one word in either a poem or your prose, and far be it from me to stop a short story from coming to the front of the line.
The word is: disguise. Play it any way you like, either in the title or somewhere in your write ... BUT, you can only use disguise once in your writing ... and PLEASE ... tag me in the comment area not on your written piece ... @Danceinsilence

Embracing the Mask
Stumbling through a forest of darkness and depression--
Disguising all my thoughts, as I seek out new obsessions...
Smiling, I tread forward, always leaving false impressions--
And smirking at the world, only focused on its oppressions...
Stumbling through the numbness, as the feelings consume my soul--
Drinking away the madness, and searching for a close to this black hole...
But the event horizon consumes me, and I’m trapped within this woe--
So I smile and let it smother me, embracing its silent cold...
