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.

her tears.

She's ruined art.

She's tainted tranquility.

She had her landscape ravaged by an unwelcome poacher.

They promised to protect her and love her to no ends.

Now she cries silently praying for it to end.

She wants to leave to find heaven but is afraid of catching hell.

She tries mask her pain behind chartuse blinds of deception.

She's convinced herself that it's her fault.

She provoked the lion.

She evkoked his rage.

She did not carry herself to his liking.

Now she sits in a desolate cage yearning to escape.

She feels ashamed for allowing it to go on for so long.

The nightingale wants wants desperately to fly away from all that is wrong.

She want to sing but she is afraid to share her song.

Farewell party

What's more sweeter than sweet?

What's more heavenly then heaven?

Look at everything you bring to the table.

If they walk away then let them leave. 

Don't agonize.

Don't worry.

Don't stress.

Don't feel hurt.

Don't beg them to reconsider.

Don't chase.

Celebrate them leaving.

Give them their space.

Space.

They settled for space when you were their entire  universe.

Let them go.

Leave them to their fate.

Keep shining

Never look back.

Close the gate.

If they call saying they miss you....let them eat cake.

Message received

If you have something to say then speak.

Let your thoughts be known.

Make your intent be crystal clear.

I'm not a mind reader.

Meanings are never implied.

What's big to you is small to me.

Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Make your message be clear day.

Never assume.

Make your audience see the message your trying to convey.

Misunderstanding is darkness.

Communication is key.

What's better than you?

What's better than good?

What's greater than great?

What can't  be shaken?

What can't be defeated.

What is tried?

What is true.

I'll give you a hint.

It starts with y and ends with you.

Thanks every day.

A penny for your thoughts.

A dime for time.

What's going through your mind?

You woke up today.

Your here for a reason.

Be thankful every day

Not just the holiday season.

Every day above ground is blessing in disguise.

You have a purpose here

You are adored in someone's eyes.

Be thankful for what you have and give often as you can.

Love with with all joy you can muster.

The world can be crule bitter place but it's not so bad when you wear a smile on face.

Shine

Some people are so rich all they have is money.

Some people are so attractive looking their actually ugly.

Some couples are so in love that all they have each other.

Some people are so brilliant their actually dumb.

Some people are so brave that their actually afraid.

Some people laugh so hard that they actually weep.

Some people are so woke that their actually asleep.

Life can be subtle or be blunt.

We must look deeper to discover what we truly want.

True happiness doesn't come from the images you think see.

True riches don't come the wealth you believe you desire.

True love isn't the infatuation that your lusting after.

Knowing who you are and lovingy loving is all that truly matters.

After you love yourself unconditionally everything else will flow like water and shimmer like gold.

If you want true wealth then look deep inside your soul.

Then when you find yourself you'll have riches beyond belief and wealth untold.
