Different Faces

I believe we all have different faces or masks to show to different people.

The first mask, we show to the world. This is where everything looks good on the outside. We pretend that our insecurities doesn't exist, that we aren't flawed.

And second face or mask, we show to our close friends and our family. We let those close to us see a little of ourselves. We show them when we get hurt. We let them in a little. We show them a glimpse of who we truly are. But only a glimpse. Because we're still afraid to show them who we really are.

Whilst the third mask, we never show to anyone.

This is the mask that is truly vulnerable. We even sometimes don't show it to ourselves. We lock it up and we pretend it doesn't exist. This is where are all the pain and sorrows are hidden. We are so scared to let people in and see how vulnerable we are. How sometimes our insecurities can cripple us. This one cross we bear alone. We don't share it to anyone, no matter how we love that person and no matter how much they mean to us.
