As a child, we all know that if we cry, we will be consoled, if we demand, we will get, if we are sad, we will be comforted. But the truth is, as we grow up, we all are forced to wear a fake mask that covers up our actual emotions, feelings or even the disturbance. We wear a fake smile and do everything to please others. There is hardly anyone in this world who is not doing it. People like me, who are highly sensitive, gets easily affected and hate to wear the "MASK". They want to live their actual dreams and their actual feelings. But we cannot. Because society demands much more from us, far more than what we can pay leaving us deserted. Even from those reading this right at this moment; Society shapes us and we are hardly left with anything to reflect upon ourselves. We live in that fake world created by society just to prove that everything is all right and nothing has gone wrong with you. And for some, it's even worse than that!


A/N: This is one of my older pieces as a reflection on society.

Hope you like it!
