Analysis of Masks
Masks that we play with
what we use to hide
Have an inherit danger
built deep inside
The more we use them
the less we see
Then we ask ourselves
How can this be
The more we hide
the less we become
When we deny
we shy from the sun
To undo that which was done
requires us to step to the sun
The truth must be told
the fight must be done
In order for us to face the sun
