Make believe like little children
And hide ourselves from all the world
Slide on costumes to be hidden
Quiet the doubts that can't be heard
Unveil the role we must portray
Even when we ache to be true
Remember the lines we must say
And play the part life gave to you
Disguise ourselves to fit the mold
Every day do as we are told
.
Obsess about what others think
Find our place and fall in sync
.
Leave uniqueness behind to blend
Instead be who the world decides
For success to their will we bend
Eternally in masks we hide

I only write about the real world. But if you look close enough, you'll see there's magic hiding in plain sight everywhere.
