Finding who you are and no longer pretending to be someone your not
Wear your mask,
and wear it true,
until that mask
becomes you.

It may hurt,
but change all that you are,
until your problems have gone
away far.

Do this and you will see
unhappiness and the
longing to be free.
Free from fiction,
and all that's unreal,
until wounds cover your body,
and never seem to heal.

There's a thin line
between real and fake,
and you will have to decide
for yourself which road you take.
