masquerade

What's even really real anymore?

Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a post apocalyptic nightmare.

Everyone is walking around with a face mask .

Hoping it will protect them from invisible harm.


The masks come in all different,sizes, shapes, colors, and styles.

Some masks even have personalized messages inscribed on them.


You can see the huddled masses adorn them from miles away.



It makes me wonder sometimes what else are they trying to  protect themselves from?

Mask over rejection.

Mask over sadness.

Mask over bullying.

Mask over loss.

Mask over trauma.

Mask over suffering.

Mask over pain.

Mask over isolation.

Mask over hatred.

Mask over feelings of woe.

Mask over anything you don't want others to know.

Masks conceal.

Masks make you feel protected.

Masks make you feel discrete.

However, a mask  is only a temporary solution.
Their conceling effects we're not made to last.
There will come a time when all will be reviled after you unmask.
