hide from the world?, wear a mask. Options

[dreamerOi]

just wanted to see who puts up a masquerade in life. &what theyr reasons are.

i have a mask because first. i dont want my angst or saddness to um travel to other people? like i dont want them to also feel that way cause it will so called suck for them. &also i do because people tend to judge and i hate it when people judge you so i say might as well fake life since people will put you in a certain category. but i dont want a category.

so tell me.

[*stephinika*]

wow yeah i used to a lot. still do every rare occasion, but like i said, rare. i used to a lot because it just came naturally. i was always so happy at school and with life but at home or whatever, it was the complete opposite. i don't know why i did...i just did.

wow that sounded so...emo..

[*CEP*]

I'm wearing mine right now.

My mask, its peaceful, with a smile painted on,
It helps me belive all my scars are gone
all the emotional pain that i have felt in my life,
are now gone when i put on the mascarade for my life.

I smile for people, knowing in my heart i frown,
I laugh for my friends, even though im feeling down,
I listen to those who need it, when my own heart wants to talk
I feel so alone, so down in my walk

I put on my mask, every day,
it hides my scares, my pain, im afriad,
that someday my friends, whom i thought i could trust,
would look down and frown apon me with disgust,
My mask, so peaceful, so open, so right,
would no longer hide, my pain and my fright.



Yeah i dont let many people know the real me cause im afraid that they will hate me and i dont want that..and yes i just made that poem up

Wow.
Your poem really describes about how I've been feeling.
I put on a mask in front of my friends and family.
In school I'm this happy, energetic, great friend.
At home, I keep to myself and I'd rather be alone.

I guess it's because I don't want to bother people with my problems.
I'm so used to being the person who listens and gives advice.
Not the one who needs the help and takes the wisdom of others.
I guess I like to let things pass by, solve themselves out.
Or just do it on my own.
Even when I need help the most.

if u ever need to talk my msn is oreo_pride295@hotmail.com


If one day u dont feel like listening to anyone, talk to me, i will listen to you, and i promise to be very quiet

[Winter]

I put on this mask every day.

I smile and laugh with everyone. I listen to my friends when they have trouble with their boyfriends.

But I'm actually crying inside. I have troubles too. Troubles no one else knows.

I hate being like this. It's like living two lives. I put on a mask for most people. But I'm the real me with some people.

Oreo_bro, your poem just voiced out everything I've been feeling in the past year.

[highly_evolved]

everyday i try so hard to keep the mask on. It feel off the other day, somone said they will help. i need it, but i dont want it. i want to figure out wats wrong with me myself no matter what it takes or what measures i have to go through to do it.

[dreamerOi]

i think everyone wears a mask. its very reasonable. sometimes its hard to keep that smile on.

Yeah, but see, you gotta keep that smile on.
Or else people will start asking questions.

Questions = t3h suck.

[silver-rain]

yeah, i always have a mask on. i'm always showing a different part of me to everyone. no one knows the real me, i don't think i know the real me either.

[goofipinay]

oh yea i do too..im all happy n everythin

newayz ppl always talk to me bout their problems ..but no one ever tries to listen to mine...so mine r all inside

but i hav sumhow learned from ppl not to care ...

[teenprincess]

I don't know if I wear a mask. I don't even know what I am right now. When I was younger I was really girlie, and now I wanna do all this stuff like skateboarding, and play the guitar. lol, i hope that was relevant...

[Spirited Away]

I stopped lying to myself and others after a long struggle of self-discovery. Now, I only lie sometimes when I'm not up to dealing with dramas.

[dreamerOi]

about the same as well.

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

everyone have masks .... if u say no ur in denial erm...

Anyways to my parents im a good boy,you know obedient, and to my friends sometimes im too macho .

But its not to a certain point where i cant stop it ... I would say i am myself 99% of the time ... and i dont really hide anything about myself to anyone, unless it can end up hurting the other person you know..theres a line where u can cross... so yea

[*Weird addiction*]

hmm,must get a mask!!

[dreamerOi]

haha only "get a mask" if you feel that you need to hide yourself.

[Shattered_Hope]

i guess alot wear masks to hide their true self..afraid of judgement...afraid of truth.

[AsianUniQ]

People wear masques to avoid judgements. I avoid wearing a masque to avoid gaining more judgements from wearing a mask. I mean, what do you have to hide. Wheres the self confident here? But if u ever end up in a category, that would mean that you are in the wrong environment. So take off that mask, becasue there are so much more people that thinks ur face is beautiful.

[sheddingtears]

And so I go around
And just pretend
Love is not for me
I play the circus clown around my friends
Make them laugh and they won't see
That you never let them see you sweat
Don’t want them to think the pain runs deep
Lord knows it's killing me

So I put on my make-up
Put a smile on my face
And if anyone asks me
Everything is okay
I’m laughing cause no one
Knows the joke is on me
Cause I’m dying inside
With my pride and a smile
On my face






A smile can hide everything.
