Camouflaged!

Every day you put on a mask 
a different face for each task 
the son, the brother, the father, and  friend 
each role you play...till the days end 

No one can know, no one must see 
the face hidden underneath, realness hidden by thee 
it's been so long, even you don't know 
what's behind your mask...what the mirror will show 

If you take it off, you feel so weak 
so scared, terrified to speak 
look into your eyes, and see without the disguise 
is this the man you're supposed to be 

Remove the mask, it will set you free 
help you heal, help you to see 
that your mask hides nothing these days 
now let me help remove your mask...let's put it away!!!
