Social Mask
Jun 20, 2021
As I logged into my Facebook account
I contemplated which mask to put on this time
What should I write to garner appraisal and validation of friends
Should I go with an inconvenient truth or a convenient lie, I contemplated
Then I remembered people don’t want to hear the truth
It might destroy their illusions and nobody wants that
In the end, as always settled with a convenient lie reassuring accepted beliefs
However, deep down I am tired of conforming
Maybe some…
