A mask with two faces
A mask is something we wear to hide our real selves. Some of us wear our masks all the time while others don’t even realize they have masks at all.
Her mask is the epitomy of wealth and prosperity... so why are you on food stamps?
Her mask drives a bmw.....is that why you can’t make your car payments?
Her mask buys fivoluous **** that she’ll never use...is that why you overdraw your bank accounts?
Her mask is a lie she’s lived her entire life....is that why you wasted all your money?
Her face tells the real story...your irresponsible, self-serving, with an insatiable appetite for anything that you can’t have.
A mask helps you pretend to be someone your not.
But the thing about masks is...
They all have to come off eventually.
