Analysis of Masks
Have you noticed
How an individual behind
A mask can be themselves?
And that when the mask is removed,
They are nothing but what they think people want them to be
When they were better behind a mask to start with?
A mask is so much more
Than a mask,
Isn't it?
A mask is a gateway
To who we really are.
But if we only wear masks
To be ourselves,
How will anyone ever know who we are?
