Masquerade

Dear Dee,

Sometimes you put on a mask, a facade of what you want the world to see you as..

sometimes, you wear it for so long that it gels into you, like a second skin

and you get confused as to what's real and what's not;

and sometimes you wish you could just rip it off

but you're afraid of how others might react to you - the vulnerable you.

the 'you' you wore the mask to protect in the first place...

but sometimes you need to realise

is that sometimes, you need to take risks

to know that people do love you

for who you are

not who you seem to be...

...if only its as easy as that

There are always going to be what ifs..

what if the people you value the most can't accept it?

what if you lose everything that is precious to you?

what if...

what if...

the list goes on.

and the past always catches up with you...


I've seen what's beneath that mask

it's not as bad as you think.
