cast aside

Faces
Masks
People hiding who they are
Who they want to be

Lies
Deceit
Shrouding the truth
In a cloak of misery

Ridicule
Humiliation
No one can be free
No one can fly

Can no one take off their mask?
Cast aside the fear
Shut out the voices
Escape the weight

Pressing, pulling
Dragging you down

Can you climb out?
Can you scale the mountain?


Why do you need to be seen?
Can’t you put aside
The need, the longing
To be seen as normal

BREAK THE NORM!
Take no prisoners
Traverse the stars
And look down upon the hopeless

Live your vision
While others toil away
Become yourself, the true you
Not the façade

As you soar among the heavens
Live
See
Feel
