My mask.

Is it a sin? a crime? an immoral way to live?

you hide your secrets(protection).
you tell people lies(fake).
they think its the truth(secrets).

and when the mask comes off?

secrets are exposed.
old lies become new truths.
old truths become new lies.
fakeness becomes protection.
protection turns to insecurity.
scars become open wounds.
you become who you weren't...

and you weren't who you are.
Wrote this when I felt Iwas living a lie. I'm trying to be more honest with people... but some of them just won't believe me.

And sometimes, you just have to wonder why.
