Never knew this terrible truth
We stick with false identities
A moral facade of what is accepted
The whispers in the unseen parts of our mind
They speak to what we want
They are who we really are
To afraid to show the world this face
What will the public think?
What will they say?
Pieces of us bleed through our mask
Occasionally scaring those who see us
Reminding us to always play the part
Hide behind the mask
For if they saw who we really were
We would be villainized
Looked down upon
The hypocrisy of life
To judge others on the very things we hide
Do my best to keep my mask on
Waiting for the day of courage
When I can leave my mask on the counter
And walk out into the world
So they can see who I really am
My perfect world would shatter
But chaos sounds like a good time
