Behind The Mask by TerickW(m): 8:26am On Aug 22, 2021 |
Behind that beautiful smile Lies pain, agony, depression and frustration The smile is but a camouflage To cover the inner scars and struggles Behind that confidence Lies self-doubt, low self-esteem, self-pity and self-condemnation The confidence is but a camouflage Just a cover of the true inner self Behind that success Lies years of struggle, sacrifice, sleepless nights and hard work The success is but a camouflage Not necessarily a cover but reward for the efforts and time invested. Behind that beauty Lies imperfections, vile, shortcomings and ineptitude The beauty is but a camouflage To cover the inner beasts and demons Behind that saint Lies sin, villain, savage and a hound The hallo is but a camouflage To cover the struggles with human nature filled with sinful tendencies. Behind that beast Lies charisma, charm, appeal and enchantment. The cruelty is but a camouflage To cover the the true inner self. Behind every man Lies struggles, pain, sorrow and agony With a mixture of joy, peace, happiness and fulfillment. People only portray that side which they find pleasant and appealing to the eye. And you dare ask why? But why not? When all we do is judge people and crusify them even without giving them a chance to fair hearing? We label, stereotype and tag people with certain profiles. And yet we lack the ability to look through them and see their struggles and scars And see beyond their imperfections, mistakes and shortcomings Are you any different? 1 Like |
