Action
curtains up!
let’s start this show
got my mask on
I’m ready to go
lights on!
put on a smile
they can’t tell it’s fake
but I’ve known for a while
everyone’s watching
can’t let them see
how much my feelings
are destroying me
so its lights, camera, action
everyday… everyday
so no one has to see me
fade away… fade away…

So sayeth Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain, Robin Williams, and the thousands of others who also donned masks to hide the pain.
Well done, Kathy. I do hope that you're not one. Solid message.

very true thoughts within your words yet behind most mask are tears with hurt and pain...respect

Well and truly said. 💖 We play so many roles to get through a single day, in our microcosm and the larger macrocosm of being a citizen of society. On any given day I play: son, caregiver, neighbor, office personnel, cagey shopper, podcaster, poet, orator. Your core truth is what will become more clear, as time passes.
