You
People should aspire to be themselves
Where did the masks get put on
Where did this all start
The root source will forever be unknown
Why are we as humans continuing this tyranny
All we have to do is
Stop
Halt
Cease
To be someone we aren't
When did we aspire to "fit in"
When did we become robots
Cold
Unfeeling
Relentless
All of us have been victims of this
We were all this at some point
Some more than others
We need to get the message out early
To the children
Let them know that it is
Alright
Acceptable
Okay
To be truly you
