I stretched a smile

and hold laughter at times

cried out loud to be heard

and sometimes spoke in a mime

I knew their real faces

yet pretended to be ignorant

with reality on the backdrop, I faked myself

I had to put on a mask at somepoint

I hardly recognize myself now

time changed, people changed,

places changed, and I changed too

Then, unknowingly, I put my past self to an end

Today, I crave to be my that self

I want to drag myself out of this disguise

I know nobody cares, and why would they

but whatever, I don’t want to change myself!!!
