How much longer will you last behind your mask? Do you cringe at your silence? Does the desire to reveal what you really feel haunt you?
The truth sinks you under as you wrestle with the lies that your mask provides. You’re stuck in this cycle with the mission to please and be accepted. Does that matter more than being true to who you are?
The fear of being shunned and rejected causes you to crumble and ignore the nonsense being projected. Your heart rate rises as sweat exudes from your body when you go along with the status quo. “NO”, your inner loins tighten as you silently scream wishing you’d allowed your true emotions to be upfront on the scene.
Behind the mask you are a shell to reality as it takes over your true substance. Who are you? Where are you? When will you return? How have you survived this charade for so long?
The stronghold so powerful that it dims your light being threatened by your essence and the radiance so bright. Allowing the mask to outshine your beam you lose yourself in the midst of it’s gleam. Haven’t you had enough? When will you surrender and give up this masquerade?
That’s a little better. Less mask more you as you begin seeing the toll it takes suppressing your true thoughts and opinions. Conceal don’t feel don’t let it show, we all know how that story goes. Inhibiting what’s real eats you up inside causing all sorts of resentment and regret.
Surround yourself by those you can comfortably speak your mind aloud to.
Is all this silence really a worth? You think you’re making things better when in fact your voice could very well calm the weather. Some live a life so false that a trickle of truth could change their lives forever for the better…
Be the change they are scared to be. Speak up be free! Don’t restrain nor refrain from being the YOU that the US needs to see.
Unzip your lips take back hold the control of what’s been stole by those who can’t handle what you as a whole behold…when in front of that mask. Unashamed stand and proclaim the God-given gifts of intuition, instinct and intellect you possess. Use them boldly and reclaim your position making provisions for your coming decisions.
Break free from that shell that’s behind the mask. Don’t damper your mood due to other’s unstable temperaments. If you’re happy then smile, if you’re sad then cry, no need for mixed up pantomimes.
You’re on the right track and almost there. The mask is slowly fading away. Only a piece still covers the real you.
Keep heading in that direction and soon you’ll remember how good it feels to feel and reveal what’s real. Come now, just a little closer and this facade will be through. When finally and forever the mask is…
