TAKE OFF YOUR MASKS

by dchin

Take off that silly mask that You wear every day and night Stop hiding who you really are From your friends From your family From the world From yourself Stop pretending to be the person You want to be around other people Stop hiding your flaws Your mistakes Your problems Your past Stop hiding yourself Behind that silly mask that You wear every day and night You are not the same person Behind that mask You are a fake And everyone can see that You are fooling no one When you wear that ugly mask Stop fooling yourself into thinking That this is the real you Take off your silly mask And show the world Show your friends Your family Your peers Show yourself the real you Show you true colors Let them shine through That hideous mask that you hide behind Have no shame in the person that you are In the flaws that you have In the problems that you have Have no shame in the past That you want to be known as the past Take off your mask And be proud of who you are Be who you really are Not the character you pretend to be In this play call your life Take off that mask And be free with who you are The truthful, real you
