Facades

teddybear55 on Sep 30, 2009

A poem about disguises and how people hide behind them never letting the real "you" show through.

Oh the facades we hide behind

Telling everyone, that we are fine

If only we were truly wise

We would take off our disguise

The masks are not actually real

They just cover up how we feel

Image via Wikipedia

Inside we cry, we yell, we scream

Can I awaken from this dream

It’s not who we really are

Have we taken this road too far

Is there a way to come back

and for our minds to get on track

At last, again to finally just be

Before the facade hid me from me

nice work. It’s so true how most people hide and pretend to be something that they’re really not. I am wondering now if I have been too naive because I have always been myself with everyone. That’s why sometimes you find other people saying I didn’t think he or she would be capable of doing that to me. Well, that’s because they were wearing a mask and then eventually their true self came out.

The way to true happiness is tearing away the mask and reveaaling your true self. Good advice in a beautiful poem. Keep it up Teddy.
