We All Wear Masks

We all wear masks in some shape or form

Some of us have different masks

For different occasions

I am not sure if I know who you are

Your mask hides a reality

I may never know

Is it protection?

Is it fear?

It must be self preservation

If I do not use my mask

I am vulnerable

Exposed for the world to see

Some say they don't wear masks

How would we truly know?

For the most part

There are very few people we deal with

twenty-four seven

Even then do we truly know?

Our masks may be off while we sleep

But then sleep could be a mask!

So much hidden, kept safe

From being judged and shunned

What mask are you wearing right now?
