You smile in the two way mirror of my eyes.
I put on my faith like I wear a disguise.
You can’t see my soul, see the life that I live.
But I show you the mask of the best I can give.
I’ve hid here, afraid, like a child behind,
the truth of the thoughts that clutter my mind.
What if you knew, about all that I do?
The things that I think…. the 'me' that is true?
c/o :
Would you call me a hypocrite? Call me a liar?
Would you curse out my name?
Would you damn me to fire?
Would you know what to say?
Would you just walk away, afraid the 'me' I’ve tried to hide,
would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?
I’ve been looking for answers since becoming adult,
not looking for dogma to live like a cult.
Been looking to live, been living to find,
freedom from cages that limit my mind.
Repeat c/o :
I’ve been running and hiking and dreaming of flying,
but falling and stumbling never shadowed my trying.
So now here I am before God and you,
showing my face and my true self to you.
I’m not scared of God, I trust God understands,
but I‘m wondering if you will still offer your hands.
Will I scare you? Upset you? Frustrate you? Irate you?
Challenge your lifestyle or weaken your trust?
Or will you see my effort? My passion? Sincerity?
Will you see just a little of yourself in me?
Will you take off your mask so we can be free?

Now, this is Han talking :)
Faham tak yang setiap orang mesti ada jerangkung in their closet (tahu tak jerangkung tu apa? tak tahu? ok. sila google. terima kasih). Macam aku. Macam dia. Macam pakcik guard tu. Macam sesiapa je lah. Dan tak semua orang berhati konkrit berani nak ceritakan perkara yang dia hide tu kat semua orang.
Husnuzon la. Mungkin kalau dia cerita perkara sebenar, kawan-kawan dia akan menjauhkan diri. Siapa tahu kan. Dan mungkin sebenarnya, orang takkan dapat terima diri kita yang kita sorokkan tu. Orang yang terlibat je tahu perasaan sebenar. Kadang-kadang ada orang yang happy tapi sebenarnya dia tampal fake smile je kat muka dia. Takkan semua perkara nak bagitau satu dunia kan. Tak perlu.
So, hormat lah sikit privasi orang dan jangan sesuka hati je nak paksa-paksa dia cerita benda yang dia takkan cerita. Ada masa dan ketika yang tepat nanti, dia akan cerita juga. InsyaAllah. Tapi, kat orang yang dia betul-betul percaya lah. Jadi, mind your own business dan cuba la jadi kawan yang memahami. Okbai
