Masks

What is my true face?

I wear a mask on streets,

a mask lack of emotion.

People rarely notice me,

children seldom talk to me,

as I am always as calm as the ocean.

I wear a mask at school,

a mask filled with laughter.

Teachers usually think I speak cheerfully,

classmates often chat with me casually,

as I am always as happy as an actor.

I wear a mask at home,

a mask full of smiles.

Father grumble that I don't have worries,

Mother scolds that I am not serious on studies,

as I am always as fake as lies.

Can I ever take off my mask?

That dogma think - trying to please everybody, I guess I gave it up. It was a nice poem.

Thank you very much! Pleasing everybody is exhausting. I guess being who you really are is the best way to go! :)

Yep! You got it.
