Layers of masks so painstakingly built
Falling off so effortlessly
In front of you, my soul is bared
Somehow I’m very scared
Usually no one can even see
The masks that I have on me
But you, with your patient air
Strip my armor built with care
In front of you I am simply me
I wonder how this can be
I’m a person that’s just cowardly
Someone you should never see
We all carry many secrets
And have many layers
That we seek to protect
Behind these polished masks
With politeness and courtesy
We hide so effortlessly
Yet somehow, you see
Right through me
And somehow, it’s comforting
To be seen and understood
Yet not judged or hated
Maybe this was fated
My masks have crumbled
And now I stand before you
With only my stark reality
Thank you for accepting me

Well, this is kind of conceptual for me. I believe we all have so much of ourselves that we hide from others out of necessity or habit or a combination of both. To find someone you can just be you with and then have them accept you as you are is really rare. So i just thought i'd comment on that. Hope y'all like it!

The mind bends and twists to deal with the horrors of life, but sometimes it bends too much and snaps in two.
