RE: A Poem About Staying True To Yourself

in #poetry6 years ago

A nice reminder that we are so often wearing "masks" of one sort of another... even if we believe we are not.

Of course, living as truthfully ourselves also comes with the attendant "risk" that when someone doesn't think we're "all that" it's our TRUE self they are rejecting (and that can sting) not just a mask we didn't care so much about.

I suspect that's one of the reasons people often hide behind carefully crafted facades.
