Facades

We all wear masks and disguises.
We build walls around us.
We pretend to be robots.
We pretend we don't have hearts.
We pretend that malicious remarks don't kill us.
We pretend all the time.
We wear make up because we're afraid to be called ugly.
We want to be skinny like models because fat people aren't always accepted.
We walk around with masks on our faces, with walls around us,
and a full body armor.
Just so we wouldn't get hurt.
