(them lot being the people we were with earlier that day)' and me and my friend have had indepth conversations about our masks. how we hide our feelings except usually around our very close friends who we can trust. but i have met people who wear they hearts on they sleeves, to me they seem pathetic but in some ways i envy them, being able to tell anyone how they feel and not being ashamed of how they feel. but i could never do that partly because i do it just to save others. if im feeling really depressed but my friends are in the mood to be stupid and just have a laugh ill go along with it just because i don't want my mood to dampen theys. So your right badges and masks are a way of live (for most people) and always will be... i know i wear a mask or a badge or whatever you wana call it. my boyfriend even said to me the other day ‘why don’t you ever show how upset you are? or angry you are? around them lot?

I've changed for the worst and i hate what ive become, theres nothing left to do; I've become so numb. The outside... may seem content but on the inside i bleed, i cry for my inner emotions are tearing me apart and i feel as if I'm going to die. The end of me is near, soon there will be nothing left... nothing left to fear and nothing left to care. This is the world in which i live in, day in and day out, but soon I will escape this world and enter the eternal world of sleep; I crave the end of this pointless existance, of this pain within, i just hope its near.

When you talk about the invisible badges everyone wears I find that you sometimes dont even know you are wearing. I was just in Georgia for a funeral, and I found that even though I had never lived there and only ever stopped by to see relatives for a few hours at a time, everyone somehow knew who I was by these invisible badges. I pulled into town and stopped at a station for gas, and though I never said anything to the attendant, as I left he said to me, "We were all sorry to hear your grandmama died, so who's your daddy?" This took me completely blindsided, how did this man know who I was? Little did I realize just how inbred (which I do not say as an offense) the whole town was. My height, build, facial features, hair, and eyes clearly identified me as being ken in this small town, even though at home they made me rather unremarkable. That combined with the way I dressed which clearly marked me as an out of towner, lead to only one reason I was even passing through this town.

Most would accept this, however, it seems to be little more than a bit of a rewording (a more intelligent one than most, granted) of the generic 'Mask' essay. Everyone puts up their mask, we do this for acceptance or protection, etc.. Don't get me wrong, it's a good essay, just a bit of common knowledge by now. My opinion in any case. Primarily… agreed.
