Are you masked too?

'She had blue skin,
And so did he.
He kept it hid
And so did she.
They searched for blue,
their whole life through,
they passed right by-and never knew.'
-Shel Silverstien

 Shattered,broken,unsure,scared,fearful,torn and hurt. A little too crushed with feelings, pricked by words,torn by misunderstandings. Cluttered thoughts interrupt one another,creating cynical pictures. An insecure heart, a confused mind. She fights a battle with herself every night and masks a smile throughout the day.

I think most people hide behind masks, they cover themselves in layers. Maybe longing to be unraveled or maybe not. They hide their fears, insecurities and hopes. They hide behind their beautiful smiles to mask their sorrows away. They trade in reality for a role, a sense for an act and give up the ability to feel and in exchange, put on a mask.
