a strange land

A lost child reached a strange land
where people wore masks to hide faces
for reason unknown to her
they preferred to hide their real selves.

In her eyes they were very normal
ordinary people like her own
with vices and virtues side by side
just like every one should be.

Every morning they picked up masks
which they thought was best for them
then they wore it and walked around
pretending as per the mask on face.

The little girl was surprised to think
they don’t realize the simple truth
that their real nature shines through
she wished that they should just be them.
