Masks

Society says

What you see

Is what you get

But

Is the person you see

The actual person?

They wear so

Many masks

Disguise themselves

Personality alterations

To please the crowd

Change again

For a different crowd

Perfect girl

Maybe a cold-heared

*****

Or a superficial *****

It is not

Who are you?

But

Who do you have

To be to

Please a crowd?

The question

Begs an answer

Have we

Stopped being human?

Have we become

Slaves of

Socialogical pressure?

Be accepted

Or be on the outside

Destroy the

Essence of yourself

In order to fit in
