She said that let’s play the game of pretending. Well, in a way I agreed to. She loved the idea of disguising, pretending and wearing a mask. In this game of pretending she might have hurt many people. But, she still thinks she is better this way. As the game of pretending continued she thought that the world was now a better place but little did she had an idea how many people she was hurting. She was unable she her flaws and always found flaws on others. While she was hiding behind a mask, I was simply myself. I showed all kinds of emotions. I would be angry, happy and all kinds of emotions came out of me. But, she thought I was rude that I had these all kinds of emotion which was unnecessary. I told to myself sometimes, bitch I am rude because I showcase what I am, unlike you who is living behind a mask and creating a fake version of yourself. You have compelled many people to cry and don’t even know to how many held back their tears. You are so kind that you talk about me at the back to people I know, intentionally that someday I might get to hear it. I am grateful that you did it because finally I get to know the real you. Getting to know the real you made me regret the things I shared you. I added it’s high time that you become yourself and stop pretending to be the kind person which you are not. You like to play soft and hurt others and still think people will see you as this kind person. I suggest you stop living inside and come out and live in reality.


But, the biggest question is will this person ever come out of the mask. But, by the time this person comes to her true self it would already be very late because, I have already declared myself as the “bad person”. I have gotten used being called rude. But, I don’t let this get to me. Instead, I pity this person because this person is unable to be her true self and reflect back on herself.


I always say it to myself; she is living in a big delusion if she thinks that her mask will never come off.
