Masks

We look at the world and sigh,
Exaggerate ourselves in our own eyes.
Hide behind our own face,
In ourselves we find truth and replace,
Dreams, goals, and then everything erase
Even ourselves in our own eyes.
With this in mind,
Inside we become blind,
To what we have become behind
Humanity, even to ourselves in our own eyes.
Masks we forever use,
And because of this we lose,
Sight of us and our muse,
Kindness to ourselves we refuse,
So now we hide and we look at the world and sigh
