>>The Invisible Mask<<

Hey friends,
I would like to share one of my poems titled 'The Invisible Mask'.
I have always felt that we are scared to show our real self to others.....we disclose only a part of our idenity to different people and always want to be within the limit of goodness. Somehow, we all try to be diplomatic in whatever we do.
I agree, we ought to be diplomatic sometimes....but is it agreeable at the cost of our true nature??
We just try to hide behind a mask....a mask which is only visible to us.....our friends dont even have a faint idea of it....For them the mask is Invisible!

*The Invisible Mask*

The different masks,today we wear,
our true self it is we declare.
To each person,we have a mask so unique,
its all like a game-hide and seek.
Our thoughts have always been hidden,
Is speaking our hearts forbidden??

Always trying to please and impress everyone,
A life so insecure has begun.
Living a life,fake and superficial,
Its no way going to be beneficial.
Its like a drama,its like a play,
Different masks for a different day.

When one mask is removed,
another mask is approved.
Constantly changing and hiding behind a veil,
Our worthy identity we always conceal.
The fear of rejection has crept in our mind,
people's judgement has made us blind.

Pretending has become a second nature,
and our real self is always in capture.
Let us throw away our masks,
I know, this may be a difficult task.
But....we have to show what we are,
and respect people for who they are!
Remember....I am what I am!!
for what people think....i care a damn!!
