So many years spent playing games
Imagining the world as my toy

Now I'm tired of all the stories
I'd convinced myself were true

The masks are broken
I can't stand them anymore

They ranged so wildly
in appearance and manner

Leave them be, now
let them fall

For good or ill
be plain and true

Face this fear
face them all

and let this world
know me

Or is this really
just another game?

Sometimes I wonder if it's ever really possible to shed all the masks even with the one person you care about most, even with yourself...being totally open and compltely bare all truthful can be terrifying and hard, almost impossible...I wish you the best of luck. *hugs*

I think I might have to agree with some of this. For I think a mask is sometimes necessary for protection in one form or another.

Thank you :)

Not only finding truth, but finding yourself under all of these layers. I've been doing this for a while myself and I haven't gone through all the layers yet ... :) I doubt I ever will.

When you have 30+ years of building layers (like me), then it takes time to get through 'em... :)
