Essence of Man

Conceal me what I am
Behind words of disguise
Weaving stories of fiction
And actions from lies
I am either the hero or the villain
It is you who decides
Hear me speak
With innocent eyes
Look beyond the barriers
Look between the lines
Look for the truth concealed in lies
I am what I am
A man with words as his sword
Give me another mask to hide under
And all you’ll get
Is the truth stripped naked from lies
