Below are some of my writings - not very good I'm afraid, but it
is the best way I know of expressing myself. Enjoy!

What Would You Do?
What if I were to tell you that no, I am not fine,
that life is not the bed of roses I portray to the world?
What if I were to yell to all-and-sundry, give me
a hug, I am hurting?
What if I were to let the tears spill?
What if I told you when you come to me with your troubles
that I cannot handle it today, because I am going through a rough patch myself?
What if I told you that the strong, confident one
you see before you is false?
What if I told you that sometimes I need a shoulder
to lean on too?
What if I told you that I too need some support?
What if I told you that this just isn't me, that I
am a liar and a cheat?
What if I told you what was really going on?
What would you do?
Would you recoil in horror?
Would you laugh?
Would you give me the support I need?
Would you stay or would you go?
But I cannot tell you any of these things, because
this is a mask I wear. I cannot drop the mask.
I am scared, and I am weak.
I wonder who would I be without this mask?
I am a fake!
