I was taught to be genuine.. I was taught to be honest…I was taught not to wear a mask. As I grew up my eyes got baffled with the constant color changes of the masks around. I stepped ahead to feel and love the faces I saw and the images that were behind the beautiful faces baffled my heart. People thought my genuineness is a mask in itself. They used weapons to reveal the real me. But, it was not the mask I wore so the weapons left me wounded with scars on my face.
Then I realized, we need a mask to survive, even the snail uses a shell to hide. So now even I wear it, even I change colors, even the real me prefers to hide inside..the only reason is even I have to survive.

Very beautiful. For me a mask not only “protects” you from outside forces but it holds you back from letting it the beautiful things in life. It’s like building a wall, you can’t really experience the outside world in the same way.

Masks and walls are used to cope with the fact that all of us, are in some way or another, to one degree or another, by the struggle that is life, are broken.

Masks are meant to be temporary, and there is the fact that many of those from whom we are trying to hide, have laser vision.
