Socialized to be lost in masks of perfection!





Socialized to wear masks,
One, two, three multi-layered masks,
Many, varied, colored and bland,
Socialized to always look sanitized,
Prudish and prim and smooth and perfect,
Socialized to always make life seem and look cinch,
And the toughest challenges like an ever welcome breezes,
Who are you?
Who are you today?
Who stepped out of the closet today?

In trying so hard to hide,
Hide that little crazy part of you,
Hide chinks and mistakes and scars,
That imperfect side of you,
In trying so hard to  hide that which completes who you are,
You have hidden all of you,
All of who you really are,
You don’t exist,
The real you is gone, gone, forever hidden,
You are lost,
Lost, lost, lost,
In that ugly mask of  perfection you wear,
So blame nobody for misunderstanding you,
For not knowing you,
For being incapable of relating to you,
Seek perfection but be you!
