The Façade


Hiding yourself away from others is often easiest to do. 
We don't know if society will accept us for who we are.
We don't know if we will be understood.
We hide behind a disguise, a façade. 

My mask.

My disguise.
         ...Incognito.

My security blanket.

My dreams.
       ...In Jeopardy.

My hopes.

       ...Crushed.
My fears.

       ...Reality.


My façade.
       
...Charming.
