Masquerade

Who is who?
Who's with who?
Who knows who?
They wear a mask
Covering up their true
Identity and insecurity.
When they approach you
With a warm greeting
Is it genuine?
The compliments and
Terms of endearment
Are they genuine?
It's almost shocking how
Quickly those smiles fade
Away,
How the compliments can
Turn into a dis.
I use to wish to dance along
With these unique beings,
Instead I embrace my
Individuality and party
In my own world.
Every mask has a different
Shade,
Different mood covered
By the mask they wear.
Their true identity can't
Always be hidden,
It will be found.
Shakespeare said "to thine
Own self be true."
Unmask yourself and
Embrace the real you.
