so many fake people

so many fake people
in their costumes
and masks and facades
wanting to be seen
not as they are
but as they want to be

i find it sad really
so discontent
and insecure and camoflauged
the shallow attempts
to gain acceptance
for a kiss or a smile

i am confidence
and self and radiant purity
never callous never fake
always caring and true
and never, ever willing
to hide
