Behind the Masked

• Artist: l Serendipity l
• Description: People are the best actors/actresses, because of their acts in everyday life. I wonder how different the world would be if everyone, if I, said nothing but the truth and was in no way influenced by my peers. I for one think it would be interesting. People would seem so much more unique and maybe, just maybe people would be a lot less quick to judge. But we can't change every single person, just ourselves, so all we can do is write and wonder.

Whats behind the mask?
The perfectly applied makeup
The laughs
The smiles
Temporary cover ups
Only lasting a short while

Some say its called strength
Others a lie
They call me an actress
That I can't deny

There's nothing wrong with acting
Its a part of everyday life
You only grow stronger
When you, head-on, face the strife

But why do we act?
Does it truly make us glad?
Are we afraid of judgment?
Afraid to be convicted mad.

Or is it out of habit
I guess its an addiction
I still wear my mask
And fear the conviction

So day after day after day,
Layer on top of layer
As it all piles up.
Hell, is this what the world has come to?

Even I'm living on a prayer.
