WE wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!
Wearing a mask to me brings the meaning that we will change our self when we are with different types of people....i think most of us wear a mask when we are with different types of people but we wont notice it...for example..like when we are with this group of frens...we will change our self to fit in...than when we move to a different group...we will put on another mask....people dont wan to be their self cause they might think they wont fit in and people will think that they are "freaky"...i know this person...he likes a girl called Y...when he is with this girl...he will totally change his attitude...he wont be his self...well...i think this is no use...cause..if Y falls in love with him...SHE WILL FALL I LOVE WITH THE GUY IN THE MASK ....than...after awhile in the relationship..Y will find out his true colours and wont like him cause she feel in love with the guy in the mask...i am not pointing fingers at any1...i am just saying...just be your self cause there is only 1 "YOU" in the whole world..everybody is special...everybody has their on thing that makes them for who they are...i just hope...after reading this..u will all throw ur mask and just be you self....dont be a fucking poser just to get in a group of people that u think are cool...start your own thing!!!...hahaha...to tell u the truth...even i wear a mask...after thinking about it...i am trying to change my self...i know it is hard taking the mask out....but we just got to do it....change for the better good =)

well,, you can take it negatively or positively,,,
on a negative way,, people do change when they are with different groups,,,
maybe because they're not confident enough for themselves,, or simply because they don't like themselves as well,, coz if they do,, why do they have to change? to fit in? no,,,
it's not that,,,
it's because you don't trust yourself,,
it's because your self-confidence is low,,,
that's why you're afraid to show the real you,,,
on the other side which is the positive,,
well,, let's just say that there's a reason for everything,,,
some people do wear mask,,,
simply like doing some things,, not because they like it,, but because they have to,, by the words that 'they don't like it' means they're exactly wearing a mask,,, and it doesn't mean that they trying to change,, it may mean that they are just trying to satisfy someone's order or demand,,,
or sometimes to keep someone,,,
but nevertheless,,,, we all shouldn't wear mask,, coz mask teach us to hide the real us,,,
we're not suppose to be afraid on fitting in or whatever,,,
why don't we think the other side...
like 'they should be the one to be afraid on fitting in with us,,'
in that way,,
they'll be the one to think how to fit on us,,,
hehehe
