A Secluded Facada

We all wear masks of some form or other,
We hide behind forbidden mistakes,
we either can not take back or it's too late to fix.
We all have that special face for others to see.
With multiple masks we can live out our fantasies thru the lies we keep.
We all wear masks of some form or other,
but it's who we choose to see our true colors.
Behind that fake smile,
Lies all your truth.
Your lies, your ugliness, your beauty.
It's like a game show of life,
Which one will you pick tonight?
The beautiful mask?
or the lies beneath that you are hiding from all to see.
