The Mask Beneath the anxious surface Lies an infinite pool of love Beneath the icy cold façade Lies a warm heart Beneath the unapproachable demeanor Lies smoldering passion Beneath a broken heart Lies Hope Take the mask off It doesn’t serve you well! REA-SILVIA COSTIN, P.E. . 2015

Yep. We all tend to hide behind masks, refusing to show our true selves. Short and very much to the point is this little beauty.
