The real you....

If the mask fits

and makes you fake happiness.

And you don't mind wearing it.

Keep it on.

And fool everyone

including yourself.

MORE SO.

But one day you will wish

you took it off

and just became real FOR yourself.

Masks do have that tendency to slip askew at just the wrong moment ...sigh.

True, true and so true. Be real or you will end up with a raw deal.

Too many people have lost themselves these days. The internet has provided 'a mask' like none other in all history. People can connect instantly, yet hide who they truly are and even become a completely different person. This poem is so true, a life lived under false pretenses is one destined for regrets.
