Being Yourself

Shades and lights
Barren and brights
Make-up and masks
Glitters and glass
Tough to feel strong
And thinking what's so wrong
When eyes in mirror
A reflection of truth
Without any foldings
Without any layer
It's reality you can see
It's just crystal clear
Marks and spots
Pimples and pores
Every of the error felt on face
Small turned into huge
Ridges even in smooth
As Perfect is no place
But still sadness and sorrow
Even in complete
Feeling so hollow
Trends and terms
The ongoing fashions
Why you have to follow?
Hands entangled in chains
Thoughts can't escape
This imprisonment of brains
And on lips there is a tape
Imitating others
Hating your own shape
Even if covered by gold
And glitters in a fold
Even in gloss and glaze
Realities can't erase
For what deceiving yourself?
Why your truths you don't tell?
Running away from me and mine
Want to rise in others shine?
Believe it...
Don't have to follow the marked line
Don't have to live with trends of time
No need for paints to conceal
No need for masks to hide
Replace all false with purest of feel
In being yourself have some pride
