Why the Pokerface?

Please explain to me why people hide behind a facade.

* Are they insecure?

* Are they afraid of being judged?

* Are they ashamed of where they come from or something they've done?

The masked person doesn't interest me. I want to know the real you. I want to know the real story behind the real you. I simply want to understand. If you think you are trying to please or make an impression by putting on a show, the reality is is that I don't buy it.

I wish people could be comfortable in their own skin and just be real. I'm not asking you to divulge your entire life story, but what I am asking is that you be sincere and honest. If you're happy, be happy. If you're sad, be sad. Stop being phony and just be you.

You may think that by wearing this "mask", people will not figure out who the real you is. Truth = It's only a matter of time. People will begin to see through the cracks.

Life is too short to play games and frankly, I think you will be better off if you stop talking the talk and actually walk the walk.

Why is it I always feel you are addressing me when I read your works, lol. Maybe it's guilt. Subcon is a "M.F.'er" to be crass. Anyway, who really knows anything about themselves if they don't search within. It's more ancient than the Thoreau.

I was actually pondering today if I mispell because I don't care or if I don't care because my subcon knows that it is irrelevant save to make myself look non-itelligent. I went deeper, but your comment space is not the time nor the place...
