I actually wish I could wear a mask all my life without people judging me for it.
It would make me happier than having to show my real face all the time.
Mask of Deception
By Doctor Pessimist
She often wears a mask throughout her life.
People only see this fancy mask she wears.
They recognize her as a beautiful woman.
She grins solely to make herself attractive.
That’s what the men and women tell her.
When the day ends, she returns home.
She removes the mask to have a rest.
There is a second mask underneath.
See? This is the mask she put on herself.
She deceives herself using her a mask.
It’s a shame she can’t see her true self.
Does her old genuine self still exist?
Or has she always had to play pretend?

new mask
No matter how much makeup you put on your still the same on the inside
