"Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear For I wear mask. I wear a thousand masks, masks that I am afraid to take off and none of them are me.
Pretending is an art that's second nature with me But don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be fooled. I give you the impression that I'm secure That all is sunny and unruffled with me within as well as without, that confidence is my name and coolness my game, that the water's calm and I'm in command, and that I need no one. But don't believe me. Please!
My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask, My ever-varying and ever-concealing mask Beneath lies no smugness, no complacence. Beneath dwells the real me in confusion, in fear, in aloneness. But I hide this. I don't want anybody to know it. I panic at the thought of my weakness and fear exposing them. That's why I frantically create my masks to hide behind. They're nonchalant, sophisticated facades to help me pretend, To shield me from the glance that knows. But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only salvation, and I know it. That is, if it's followed by acceptance, if it's followed by love. It is the only thing that can liberate me from myself from my own self-built prsion walls from the barriers that I so painstakingly erect. That glance is the only thing that assures me of what I can't assure myself, that I'm really worth something.
But I don't tell you this. I don't dare. I'm afraid to. I'm afraid you'll think less of me, that you'll laugh and that your laugh would kill me. I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing, that I'm just no good and you will see this and reject me. So I play my game, my desperate, pretending game With a facade of assurance without And a trembling child within, So begins the parade of masks The glittering but empty parade of masks, and my life becomes a front. I idly chatter to you in the suave tones of surface talk. I tell you everything that's nothing And nothing of what's everything, of what's crying within me. So when I'm going through my routine Do not be fooled by what I'm saying. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I am not saying. Hear what I would like to say but what I can not say.
I dislike hiding. Honestly. I dislike the superficial game I'm playing the superficial phony game. I'd really like to be genuine and spontaneous and me. But I need your help, your hand to hold Even though my masks would tell you otherwise.
It will not be easy for you; Long felt inadequacies make my defenses strong. The nearer you approach me The blinder I may strike back. Despite what books say of man, I am irrational; I fight against the very thing that I cry out for.
You wonder who am I? You shouldn't For I am everyman And everywoman Who wears a mask. Don't be fooled by me. At least not by the face I wear." (10/29/01)
"You say when you're alone It's better 'cause nobody knows you When no one's your friend It's better 'cause nobody leaves you So you turned your back On a world that you could never have 'Cause your heart's been cracked And everyone else's is goin' mad" ~The Wallflowers~ (10/28/01)
"You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize Your actions speak much louder than words So tell me why oh By now I should know that That in time things would change So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad So why do I feel so sad" ~Alicia Keys~ (10/27/01)

"... humans are, by nature, a forward-looking species always seeking greater levels of happiness and satisfaction. Unfortunately, the corollary is that humans are all too often willing to grasp at unrealistic promises of a better life or to believe that a better life can only be attained by clinging to intolerance and ignorance, by lessening the lives of others. And sometimes, by focusing on a life to come, we miss what we have in this life. It is a different source of hope, but it is hope nonetheless: hope that human intelligence, combined with compassion, can solve our myriad problems and enhance the quality of each life; hope that historical progress continues on its march toward greater freedom and acceptance for all humans; and hope that reason and science as well as love and empathy can help us understand our universe, our world, and ourselves." ~Michael Shermer~ (10/1/01)
