Defying that mask which you wear
everyday before you go out of your home is really difficult. Many a
times people tend to take you very differently, though in actual life
things are way to different. The generation today is used to lead
multiple different roles, all under the shadow of a mask. You have a
social mask, a social media mask, a pretentious flirty mask and so
many other masks. But at the end of the day, when you come back home,
you shed your ego and mask, and get back into your real self. You
realize how much fake you are and how much people can misinterpret
you.
“What you see me
Is just a fake me
A me stuck in morass
Sinking with the weight of a lie”
The issue with wearing a mask
everyday is that you forget your self and people tend to think that
you are someone else. For someone who is ever jolly might me shocking
for others to realize that he has a sentiment inside it. There is
defense mechanism through which many make fun of themselves to beat
inferiority complex. So for the world he is a damn under confident
guy, but often fail to realize the confidence it requires to pull off
a mockery on self. This is just a mask which we wear.
The real problem however begins
when even to forget your real self. You get so used to a mask that
you don't really know how to live without it. It can have many boons.
Me wearing the mask of always a happy guy can make my life a
different tale, though deep down my heart there are emotions.
(Alright the change from third person to first person was not
intentional.) But the crux of the whole situation here is that, at
times, just to pretend, you start taking life so lightly that you
fail you get seriousness back into it.
To help others live a prosperous
life, you pretend not to like someone, wear the mask of true friend
and pretend to unite a person who might just be your interest. But
that mask, you have to shed it at times. Sometimes, when self
realization comes in and you realize that people love your mask, not
you. You feel sad. You see friends of your mask, not you. That's
scary. You are backstabbing your own soul. But again, to continue
living, you need oxygen. And to lead a social life, you need a mask.
A much needed abrupt ending. Thanks.
