Many wear masks in public;
Boring, normal faces,
Hiding their true selves and their uniqueness;
You are afraid of what others will think of you?
You hide what makes you individuals,
Your unique personalities,
Simply to fit in?
Why do you all make fun of the few of us who are not afraid,
Not afraid to show our true colors?
At least we do not hide,
At least we reveal who we truly are.
And what are you,
Those of you who choose to hide out of that pointless fear?
All of us are different;
Why be afraid to show that?
Remove your masks, and
Show us who you are;
Stop hiding like rats.
Be who YOU want to be,
Be an individual,
Be you.
