This charade is too much.
This mask is too heavy.
And you're a waste of my time.

This actually reminds me of one of my poems called "Mirror Mask" which pretty much has the same theme.
I like this though. It's short and to the point, but also manages to use poetic language and some good metaphors.
The last line is a little bit too blunt, I think, for the poetic language of the first two. But that's just a nitpick. It really is ok as it is.
Thanks for entering. -
I'm a little disappointed by the title but do like the content.
The last line has to many words. I think you can do better. RED
