Masked

We all have one - covering our faces,

We take it with us to all places,

Using it to hide, to save our pride,

To appear normal - not too wild.

Afraid of other people looks,
Scared of the crooks,

Using the brainchild, having people beguiled.

But when it starts to peel away,

We found ourselves defined -

In completely different way.

Starting to see the real us,

The one we tried to hide,

We might feel like we died,

But shortly after we glide,

Inside, one hell of a ride,

Leading us to ourselves,

Rediscovering the opposite side,

Yet again being true selves.

Yet again shining bright,
Finding the hidden light.
