The different masks,today we wear,
our true self it is we declare.
To each person,we have a mask so unique,
its all like a game-hide and seek.
Our thoughts have always been hidden,
is speaking our hearts forbidden??

Always trying to please and impress everyone,
A life so insecure has begun.
Living a life,fake and superficial,
Its no way going to be beneficial.
Its like a drama,its like a play,
Different masks for a different day.

When one mask is removed,
another mask is approved.
Constantly changing and hiding behind a veil,
Our worthy identity we always conceal.
The fear of rejection has crept in our mind,
people's judgement has made us blind.

Pretending has become a second nature,
and our real self is always in capture.
Let us throw away our masks,
I know, this may be a difficult task.
But....we have to show what we are,
and respect people for who they are!
Remember....I am what I am!!
for what people think....i care a damn!!

    @naveen
    Ya that fear should not be there, its not about importance of people, its about living your trueself, there may be people more important tha you in your life that doesnt matter, unless you live a life which is 'truely' yours
