We Wear a Disguise

We wear a disguise.
Our feelings it belies.
It covers our shame.
It is our fame,
Helping us to rise above.

No one will know,
That in tears we sow.
Life is a game,
As we see life unfold.

We hide and we bide
Our time 
As we travel the earth,
From the time of our birth.
We live life,
As we see life unfold.
