Masks We Wear

Posted on by Reena Saxena

The first exercise in Communication class is “Identify your Persona.” Everything else needs to align with it.

It works fine for specific tasks, but soon authenticity poses a challenge. People are much more than the tasks they accomplish.

A mask on another face connects with my expectations of that person.

I love the welcoming smile, till it leads me to dark dungeons.

I extend my hand but regret the act when it is bitten.

I change my masks to match theirs, to achieve something.

Masks are quite tolerable. The horror begins when they fall and real faces are exposed.
