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
