It's funny how deceiving an individual can be You see only what they let you see But wait there's more You are just as deceiving as the next guy We are masked and wrapped up and protected For one purpose and one purpose only To protect our innermost self The person that only one set of eyes has seen Every last person has a veil of secrets over themselves And they hide behind it as the seconds, minutes, hours, and days pass by Watching, waiting But for what? What are we all waiting for? That is the unanswered question I must extend my humble opinion to you I feel obligated, you see, to share an answer that fits the blanks for me We are all waiting for each other to do the same thing To reveal themselves, remove their veil of secrets, and Step out of the masquerade
