The Masked Truth
It is easier to tell someone the truth when you can't see their face,
To speak the words that weigh on your heart without fear of disgrace.
In a world of masks and screens, we hide behind our digital walls,
Concealing our true selves, afraid to reveal our flaws.
We type our words with ease, and press send without a thought,
But face to face, the truth is harder to convey, battles fought.
The emotions we try to hide, the pain we keep inside,
It's easier to express through pixels on a screen, we can't deny.
But is this the way it's meant to be, communicating through machines?
We lose the essence of human connection, forgetting what it means.
The joy of laughter, the warmth of a hug, the tears we shed in pain,
The human touch, the empathy, the love we give, and gain.
We hide behind our masks, pretending to be someone we're not,
We create illusions of ourselves, a fantasy world we have wrought.
We forget that beneath the surface, there's a soul that craves to be seen,
The need for validation, the hunger for acceptance, the desire to be clean.
The truth is harder to tell when you can see the other's face,
When you're confronted with their emotions, their fears, their disgrace.
But it's also the only way to connect, to build a bridge of trust,
To let the other see who you truly are, honest, vulnerable, and just.
So let's take off our masks, let's reveal who we truly are,
Let's embrace the truth, no matter how painful, no matter how far.
Let's connect with each other, heart to heart, soul to soul,
Let's open up, let's be real, let's make each other whole.
The truth may be hard to tell, but it's the only way to be free,
To break the chains that bind us, to live a life of authenticity.
So let's be brave, let's be bold, let's take that leap of faith,
Let's uncover the truth, let's embrace it, let's create a world of grace.
Let's see the world as it is, not how we want it to be,
Let's break the barriers of our minds, and set our hearts free.
The truth may be a bitter pill, but it's also a healing balm,
Let's take it in, let's make it ours, let's use it as a calm.
The masks we wear, they hide our face, but also our soul,
We lose ourselves in the process, we forget our goal.
To connect, to love, to be loved, to live a life of peace,
Let's take off our masks, let's reveal our true masterpiece.
For the truth is beautiful, in all its nakedness and truth,
It reveals the beauty of our souls, the essence of our youth.
Let's embrace the truth, let's live in it, let's make it our own,
Let's see the world with open eyes, and let our love be shown.
So let's tell the truth, no matter how hard it may seem,
Let's let go of our fears, and let the truth be our dream.
For in the end, it's the truth that sets us free,
To live a life of authenticity, and to be who we're meant to be.
