Layers of Mask
Every morning I need to remember who I am
I need to remember my likes and dislikes
My enemies and friends
My fears and repulsions
What I can say or not
What I can do or not
What is acceptable in the society I live in
What is encouraged by my family
What is good for me to eat
What is it that I should look like
I carry this mental baggage
Like an armor that separates me from my own world
It’s no surprise that the world appears distorted and far
Leaving me with so many questions to ask
It’s because I'm looking at absolute perfection through these mental layers of Mask
