Masks People Wear

Everyday we wear different masks,
each one for different reasons,
mask of Love,
mask of wellness 
mask of happiness 
mask of respect
mask of innocence,

Masks help prevent,
commotion,fights and  hurts.
Such is life here,
without mask no one can live here.

Lustful man, wears the mask of Love,
cheats, the mask of goodness,
unhappy, the mask of  laughter,
innocent are often fooled here..

Life is fabricated, two faced, 
looks are often deceptive
real person is behind the mask, 
his deepest emotions known to none.
