Veneers

choosing to showcase
only the best of you
  an enhanced illusion, a public facade
  or maybe self-preservation in the face of reality

respect is given and expected
a demonstration of existence displayed
  but it belies the true nature of your essence
  one that is flawed and human

your actions may line up with your words
and your deeds be filled with compassion
  but real freedom is not experienced
  nor a true ease in your skin is felt
