A mask is not anything real;
It is something you can see,
But it is something only the one wearing it can feel.
You may own a few masks:
A frown for an upsetting day;
A smile for a friend coming your way.
Do these masks truly express yourself?
Take a look at the mirror,
Take a look at yourself.
Is it true, dear friend?
Is your identity so confused and mixed up,
Is this really how it should end?
My friend: I wish to know you as you really are.
Remove your masks---
That is all I ask.
