I've never known a man to wear so many masks.

You wear the mask of ruthless businessman. You wear it so that they will fear you, respect you, treat you with a sense of awe. To them you are a god, a machine, a titan. But I see you for what you really are.

You wear the mask of someone heartless. You wear it so no one will see how much you truly care. You wear it so they won't know you can be hurt. But I see you for what you really are.

You wear the mask of champion. You wear it to give you strength and power, a sense of worth. You wear it so that they will all believe you are on top of the world. But I see you for what you really are.

Lonely.

Afraid.

Vulnerable.

You wear the mask of indifference. You wear it to shield yourself, to protect yourself from others. If you don't get too close, you think, you won't get hurt.

But I see you for what you really are.

Loyal.

Brave.

Resilient.

Not a sculpture made of ice, but a living, feeling human being.

A human being wedded to your masks.
