Costumes
it isn’t only halloween that brings the mask out
everyday i wake up, i head out to the costume shop
and see who i am, or just who i’d rather be
i wear the costumes in hopes that clothes make the man
and by being other men, i might stumble on the truth
the one true individual that is the real me
the one that my elders tell me i should act like
the one my friends tell me they want to get to know
and the one that i have been searching my entire life
