wearing a mask

if you've been wearing
a mask for a very long time,
it is easy to mistake it with
your skin and you will be
certainly afraid to take it off
because if you take it off
you are going to look different
and people around you may
think you are a stranger
or even dangerous -
why fall in love with your
shadow when it is easy
to look at the sun directly?
Dear friend,
there is only one thing that
is worth remembering -
what is truly natural
is never shamed of itself
and it does not need a cover.
