Take off the mask
Let the facade fade
Show us who you are
It will mean you’re brave
Forget the opinions
The impressions you want to make
Show us who you are
It will make you radiate
Lay down your truth
Reveal your flaws
Show us who you are
You’re only human after all
We all wear masks. Each and every one of us. We don’t always bear our truths, even to those we love the most. Sometimes we wear the mask out of necessity, sometimes out of fear, sometimes out of habit. Taking off the mask requires a great deal of vulnerability. An ability to let your guards down and show a side of you that you feel will be the cause of judgment or critique. But only fools judge, for who among us is etched in perfection? Today, challenge yourself to take off the mask. If only temporarily, and with someone who has earned your trust.
