LAYING BARE

LAYING BARE

Life is a course of hiding

Disguising ourselves behind painted faces

Masking the truth

Veiling our face with hoodies

Hiding, hiding

Camouflaging

Concealing

Hiding away

Obscuring

Their faces

How do we know what you are like under all that covering?

Are you a complicated being?

Unsure of yourself

Complicated

Complex

Difficulty in revealing the real self

In this life of obscuring ourselves

Is there any element that needs revealing?

Our true selves

Possibly

How much would you reveal?

And lay bare?

Would you dare to?

Would life be more challenging without the veils?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Venture into the unknown self

Gain a life of purity and love

Challenging

Those masks

Defying those masks

Revealing the true and real person

Baring all

Facing all

Defying all

Are you brave enough?

To bare the real you
