[hometext] => I think sometimes if we put on a certain mask that our face will assume the same look when we remove it.
[bodytext] => It’s in the evening time, the moon is shining bright upon the dark-lit sky A masquerade party is taking place Elaborate costumes, classical, modern-day Masks are on each telling a story of their lives. Funny, serious, animal-like, monstrous. They’re dancing, drinking, frolicking, portraying a role, a character an illusion of themselves. Faces covered, afraid to reveal identities Characters, apparitions of their beings, portraying a fantasy of who they are. Outwardly they pretend, some believe their distorted self Who are these people in reality? Often we hide, cover, project something else other than ourselves Hold the mirror, gaze, internalize, what do you see? Who are you without the mask? Costume, clothes, hats If you were to choose your face to war, who would you choose? This would leave the final impression upon your face You would wear it throughout eternity. As you waken one morn, as the sun rises Go to your mirror of reality, remove your façade. What do you see?
