Observation
Here’s to you, my friends so true,
You shaped me, through and through.
The laughter and memories we keep,
A bond time will never sweep.
I raise my glass to you, my heart,
You see beyond the mask, never apart.
In your love I find my home,
With you, I never walk alone.
To my daughter, fierce and bold,
The day you came, a story untold.
Joy and duty mixed in my chest,
In your eyes lies my true test.
What is life but moments fleeting?
Just be drunk - on wine, love or dreams,
Be drunk. It's all life's gift.

"Every joke contains a grain of truth" says Freud. We often use humour to conceal our true feelings. I'm curious to know if there’s more to your observation than meets the eye. If so, mask off my friend, please share. Otherwise, yes, nice "rack" indeed!
Response 2
Beautiful inner dialogue, one I am all too familiar with… I see my young self, hesitant to take a chance. Fast forward, I have come to cherish these regrets. They taught me an important lesson: it's never too late to be who you might have been.
Response 3
Are masks only to hide our vile instincts? In a society that celebrates “winners”, I understand why you would want to conceal your weakness, your humanity.
There's only one you. A flawed human being. Be Shameless. Maskless.
Make it count.
Revision
Get drunk on life and show who you truly are. No need for masks, shine your light. Fearlessly be yourself: that’s how you build.
