Maybe it's not how the world looks at you, but how you look at the world.
Why must I always wear different masks wherever I go?
I am so sick and tired of my photogenic life.
Who can help me tear away these masks of mine that are lingering in my skin?
Why must I play the role of a good student in front of my teachers and a contented boy in front of my friends and classmates?
Why must I keep on telling everyone around me that I am the best, by putting on the multiple masks of disguise for different people?
Once, I looked into the mirror and realise I could no longer recognise myself.
My reflection was a faceless boy, awaiting the next mask to be placed on.
Why are we always trying to pose for the best posture for the camera, when we know we can never change reality?
