Some people think it’s good
To cover up all imperfections;
They think that it will save them
From any method of rejection.
I, however, think
The cause is truly wasted
And it’s a shame because
Their true persona can’t be tasted.
So throw down your masks,
Disregard your faux faces;
Let your true self shine through
And we’ll converge at unseen places!
