A collection of poems

Facade

We all have one
Even if it's just for phone calls
Some use one more often

Others have multiple
It's hard to keep track sometime
I wish we could all be honest

A few of us present one constantly
They are hard to rid from ourselves
Some use them to stay alive

If we were all to just be ourselves
Life would be easier
But more of us would be exposed

We try to hide
What we wish we didn't know
What we wish we weren't

If we were honest
It would be hell
No one would find peace

For some they are created by tragedy
The bully's of life
The ones who make us wish we were different

A facade is essential
It helps us survive
Even if it just conceals what we hate inside
