Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #150 – Illusions
in our private world
free to be
but in public
we disguise ourselves
masks worn
don’t reflect actuality
hidden behind facades
in plain sight
reality is best served
with illusions
people don’t have patience
for the truth
or we don’t have the time
to speak it
to callous beings
wearing their own screen

Physical mask or masks put on to cover reality often serve the same purpose, to protect from an unwanted danger.

Indeed but a what a world we’d be living in without them. I always wonder.

You’re right, it would be very interesting if we all were as open and transparent as we are on the inside.

At times, others know it is a mask/illusion but yet, expect you to wear it. So, it is all a drama with mutual consent.
