Me and my Stranger Soul, I never understand

Smile, laugh, enjoy - that's what we are taught day in and day out

But never do we learn that it's fine to be angry too at times

After all, we are all humans

What's the deal of putting up a bright disguise of delight to hide our trembling feet beneath, I never understand

What's the deal of faking our identity, losing our authenticity behind those painted masks we wear each day

What's the deal of hiding our imperfections which makes us who we are - humans

What's the deal of being an impostor to trade it with our freedom of expression

What's the deal of being a yes man on the cost of our own happiness

Why- who we really are, what we have - isn't enough, I never understand

What is it that is missing in our lives that we find others' so alluring

What is it that is so attractive in this showman business to lose peace of our mind

What is it that is so applaudable about this fakeness all around

Ever thought-

What is it that is still unresolved inside that we fear to own ourselves

What is it that is still broken in our souls that we fear to amend it

What is it that is still unacceptable that we fear to embrace our authentic identity, to showcase our original emotions, to voice our true expressions

What is it? I fail to understand.
