Everyone has a façade
A mask to hide from the world.
From their friends, parents, partners, teachers.

Hiding to fit in.
Changing your façade
To get through the day.

Hiding to get away.
Putting on a mask
To show that you’re not scared.

Hiding from the truth.
Masquerading a lie
To prove that everything is alright.

Masquerading, hiding, masking
All the feelings
Just to ‘fit in’
Instead of being real.
Instead of being the real person
That you truly are.
