In a world where image is everything, 
We put on masks to hide our true being, 
A mask for work, a mask for play, 
A mask for social media every day.

We're told to be perfect, to always shine,
To have the perfect body, the perfect mind, 
But it's hard to keep up with this facade, 
And we often feel like we're frauds.

We wear the mask of confidence and power, 
To hide the doubts that we cower, 
The mask of success, of wealth and fame, 
To fit into the societal game.

We wear the mask of happiness and joy,
To hide the pain that we try to avoid, 
The mask of love, of friendship and care, 
To show that we're here and we share.

But behind all these masks, we're just human,
With flaws and fears that we try to subdue in, 
It's time to take off these masks we wear,
And show the world who we truly are and care.

For in being authentic, we find true peace, 
And the joy that we've been trying to seize,
 It's time to embrace our true selves with love,
And be the light that shines from above.

So let's take off the masks and let our true selves show,
For it's time to let our inner beauty glow, 
And in doing so, we'll inspire others to do the same, 
And create a world where being real is no longer a shame.
