Why must we continually prove to the world that we are strong ? Why must we constantly put up a shield to cover who we really are ? Why must we be hypocrites ? Lets accept it. We are all hypocrites aren't we ?Me ,you ...and everyone you know..and have ever known and sadly ...will ever know . We all lie. Everybody lies. Why is that the way it should be ? I ask you ...whats genuine ? Is that smile we portray always genuine ? Are all our emotions always genuine ? Do we always speak our mind ? Why must we go through life making compromises ? Why should we put on a fake smile...and say Thank you when sometimes what we really want to say is .... Fuck you. No - That intangible shield must stay ...People never want to let others know what they are really thinking of. It's our protection.A cover against the fears we hold .We are all so reluctant...so afraid .. too lazy .. to let that shield down. We are afraid to let new people into that circle of trust we hold.
Getting hurt ... failure is inevitable .Its how we to it react that counts. Most often what happens is we put ourselves in this shell....a box...behind this shield ..................and restrict ourselves from the world around. But unless one gets hurt,one can never grow.If you never try you'll never know who you truly are...What the hell are we afraid of ? Of hurt? Of betrayal ?
Must this shielded us always continue ? Must these subtle games of society always continue ? Maybe i'm being cynical ... but expressing you're true self with the world around is perceived as a sign of weakness........It exposes us and who we are...Without any cover for support to hide under....Open to getting torn apart by the envisioned evils of this world . Hence ,why we feel the need for this shield. This not so fake ... but a rather protected.....Shielded Us.

This world is stage...and we are all actors...in a play called life...often...by being someone else...we lose the person we are...we all encapsule ourselves in our comfort zone...reluctant to come out of it...hiding...they say...is a beautiful game...we hide from all the responsibilities...we hide from the truth...and everything else that detaches us from the soil beneath our legs...this is what you have aptly brought out in your writing...congrats...great job...
You dont necessarily have to "fit in". IF you think U want to react in a way diffrent from what is considered "normal" go ahead, only person you have to answer to is urself. But yes, this doesnt mean u do whatevr the heck u like, u of course need to set your own limits depending on what u deem fit
It is not always...like let the sun rays penetrate or take a moonlit drive...I hate the way it is...but to be Alive...u know..u have to accept the Injustice also...
