the real me


the real me

a question we ask ourselves when in doubt

no one knows the real me

am i athletic, a nerd, popular?

we wear masks to hide our true selves

fake is the definition

do you even want people to know the real you?

the act is never ending

the makeup never comes off

we try to fit in

but at what cost?

what, who is the real me?
