The masks we wear help us hide

Those parts that are vulnerable

Until the fear of being hurt fade.

It secretes your emotions to keep away trouble.

How do you conceal who you are?

How many facets do you portray?

How bearable is life without it thus far?

How is the fear of being exposed flay?

Those answers are subjective and need

Time to elucidate the importance of trust

That is reciprocated and revered.

Balance your fear and your extrovert in a bust

That embodies fears, ambitions, and beliefs

That make it difficult to be a part of the streams.
