Hidden Pearls
Willfully ignoring the truth - that's delusion.
Playing ourselves - living a life of illusions.
Assuming.
But unsure,
of how to peel the layers.
Onion getting strong,
maybe i'll do it later.
Now it's getting thicker as you strive to get richer.
Abandoning yourself so
that you can fit the picture.
Described by the world.
Keeping us tucked.
Go underneath that shell and you might find a pearl
