Are we hiding behind a mask
not willing to come face to face
with ourselves, and others
why hide behind a face
and not reveal the heart
no heart to dwell
and fear of facing
or have we created
a world around a world
which should have been
now the only reality
hiding behind our lies
or the reality we perceive
why, how and so many questions
not yet found the answers
perplexed by the paradox
are we not allowed to know
or live in the dark
and just continue as it is
we are not what may have been
as we are not aware
of what we actually are
so, the mask
always with one
for different occasions
never the real face
