A disguise of confidence, a cloak of cool pretence
A shield of strength, a façade of perfect sense
I put it on each morning, a ritual of concealment
A hiding of my true self, a surrender to the crowd's expectation
But beneath the mask, a different story unfolds
A tale of doubt and fear, of insecurities untold
A struggle to fit in, to find my place in the fray
A search for validation, in a world that's always in disarray
The mask I wear, a weight that's hard to bear
A burden of pretending, a constant strain to share
The fear of being found out, of being seen as weak
A pressure to conform, a suffocating need to seek
But what if I could shed, this disguise I wear?
Embrace my true self, without a single care?
What if I could be me, without the mask's constraint?
Free to be vulnerable, to live without the pain?
