Grace, mercy and peace to you.
Masks cover the real me
That I’m afraid to show
They keep away the hurt I’d feel
If I let them see how vulnerable I can be

Facades, people show false facades so that they won’t get hurt. It is a defense mechanism to put off someone from getting too near their basic character. Sometimes, a person has several facades to suit the occasion and the persons they are with.
It serves so many purpose, but mainly to protect one self. It would be fun to get to know somebody who protects themselves with several facades, it would be like peeling an onion, layer by layer. Occasionally, you get tears in your eyes as they are getting peeled because it will show their vulnerability and it is a pity to see an exposed person totally bared of their defenses.
Be yourself, don’t cover your true self with so many false coatings because of pride. Pride is usually the reason why someone hides themselves in protective wall defenses.
