I sometimes find myself lying awake at night,
my brain racing with the past mistakes that smother me.
How can one be so strong yet so weak?
So resilient, yet so quick to give in?
It was all a mask....
We all wear one, each a different shape and color. It's how we present ourselves to the world, only letting it see the strongest and most guarded half of ourselves.
In the shadows is where our real selves lie, waiting for a candidate to be subjected to our vulnerability.
It's merely human nature to want someone you can be yourself with. It's something we all crave as human beings. There's no problem with wanting that, right?
If we ever want our happiness with someone to be genuine and happy, we must first remove the mask. Be ourselves. And if that someone shames us for being authentic, they were not the right person after all.
