Masked Men

"We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,-- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties." Paul Laurence Dunbar

This poem speaks nothing but the truth concerning human nature; we tend to portray a different image of our-self to the world because we don't want to be judged.
We smile when really, all we want to do is cry or just scream.
We say 'yes' when what we really mean is 'no.'
We allow people to control or determine what goes on in our life, rather than telling them to back off.
We pretend to love someone just because you'd really hate to break their heart or make them cry.
There are so many things we do that in a normal circumstance, we'd rather not do.
So what is life really?....a bunch of Lies?
