Every0ne has a secret
Something they never tell …
Some are big, most are small
Some are straight from hell…
Secrets we push to the empty back
Hidden behind a mental door…
Where no one else is allowed access
Just a single foot path on illusory floor…
Something we lock away, try to forget
Then we don a mask of purity…
Show to the world outside
Our false illusion of serene surety…
This mask of innocence allows us to function
To go about our daily life
Seldom peeking behind the curtain
Which revealed could only cause strife…
Most masks hide minor transgressions
Which truly aren’t as big as they seem…
Others cover a soul of pure evil
Which if shown would cause others to scream…
Our masks allow us anonymity
Hiding one’s truth from light of day
If you lifted your own mask
What would the world have to say?
