Masks…
Everybody has one…
People put them on every day…
To be who they are not…
To hide the emotions inside…
And to trick themselves into being who they are not…
Masks…
An alter ego that we create…
To protect us from harm…
And to make others like us…
To make us feel wanted…
To make us feel alive…
Masks…
A secret that we keep to ourselves…
Something that we protect with all else…
Masks…
Something that we deem innocent…
That can destroy our lives…
And leave us with nothing else…
Lose our family…
Lose our lovers…
Lose all that was in sight…
Masks…
They can destroy us…
Or they can make us…
What depends is how close they are to our true selves…
