We all wear skin. We all wear clothes (or at least I hope all of us do). We all wear expressions. We all wear similar tastes. We all wear differing preferences. And we all wear masks. One thing we all without a doubt wear, are masks. You wear one. I wear one. Mine has smiles plastered on it all the time; it has joy; laughter; contentment; humor; happiness; wholesomeness; confidence; courage; and life on it. It looks so pretty. It covers the frowns; tears; sorrow; longing; self-consciousness; fear; discontent; angst; anxiety; self-loathing; and the death that haunts my soul. What does yours wear?

What We All Wear
We all wear skin. We all wear clothes (or at least I hope all of us do). We all wear expressions. We all wear similar tastes. We all wear differing preferences. And we all wear masks. One thing we all without a doubt wear, are masks. You wear one. I wear one. Mine has smiles plastered on it all the time; it has joy; laughter; contentment; humor; happiness; wholesomeness; confidence; courage; and life on it. It looks so pretty. It covers the frowns; tears; sorrow; longing; self-consciousness; fear; discontent; angst; anxiety; self-loathing; and the death that haunts my soul. What does yours wear?
I want to be perfect, but I just can't do it. So I make my mask as perfect as possible.
