In a world full of fascination and beauty,
Identity is nowhere to be found.
I am surrounded by a society so fake,
That a smile, a grin, or a laugh is a hidden ache.
So I hide my face… I’ll make pretend, and be my own friend.
I am just a grey mind in a universe of black and white.
Every time I look up, a spark awakens,
Lighting a flame, a vision to a reality;
That at the end of the day
We are beings, best left off in the consent of silence.
This piece tells a story about a girl who, in her life, is surrounded by the fake society. As she grows up she realizes that she is different from the others, mostly because she, out of all people that she judges, hasn’t found her true identity. But that is just she is in this phase of life. She leaves it at that as she understands that people have their own ways of showing off themselves, no matter how cheesy.
I wrote this piece for a short fashion film for a magazine. What's written is fiction.
