Everyone Wears A Mask

They say first impression matters
But have we not been misled many times
When we have fallen over ourselves
Competing for titles and trophies
Breaking glass ceilings and also breaking the Golden Rules
As we are making colourful headlines
Gentlemen and pretty ladies in smiles and dimples
But with broken noses and black eyes
Hiding behind our colourful masks.
Everyone wears a mask to hide our secrets.
