6 days after a Scary Spooky Halloween!
Seemingly innocent pumpkins with an evil grin.
Trick or treat? The treat itself is a trick.
Someone looms round the corner, ready to scare you.
Who is behind the mask and costume? A foe or a friend?
Everyday is like Halloween.
There are always people who scare and scar you on a daily basis. They remain hidden in your life, acting as an obstacle in life. Each of them wears a mask, not just on Halloween, but daily. It is not just on Halloween that you see people hiding behind masks, painted faces and wigs. It could be a friend behind a creepy ghost costume. It could be a foe behind the friendly fairy. You can never know a person's true identity. Can they be trusted? Can I rely on them?
Sure, Halloween is long gone, but why are people still wearing masks?
Why can't they be honest about things that they feel and they have done? I prefer living in a world full of hurtful truths than one that is full of lies. You can hide your real self and portray an almost perfect you. That is something that everyone does in today's society. We hide behind our masks so much that the only truth of ourselves are buried deep within our conscience, so much so that it has nearly diminished from within.
The point is, they are not the only one behind the masks of identity.
We hide ourselves from others, we hide ourselves from reality.
Dropping the mask is no easy task.
I too, am wearing a mask, a mask of fear and insecurity.
