THE MASK FULL OF SMILES

She wore a beautiful garment full of shinning stones, attracted by the high and migth, admired by all, a hand of fellowship was extended, the world stood still for her, she was indeed an epitome of beauty to behold, yet when she goes into her domain the pains can't be explained, she wears a different underwear so unattractive, now no one wishes to associate with such. 

There we found him, the praise of a nation, the glory of a people, a name greater indeed, the shining armour with blood stained behind, he goofs and wallows in the regrets of his past, we are only permitted to see what he allows us to see but beneath his fame lies the groons so unbearable. 

So subtle, she became, watching her self drift away like she never existed, her depression slowing reaping her away, she manages to spread a fake laugh, we admire her dentition and a beautiful dimple, but who knows more about the faustration she lives with, we all want to be like her but no one wants to share in her painful downtimes. 

Depression is so real in our times, alot of things happening at the same time, we either chose to win or we lose out, eveyone you come across has a story attached to pain, fear, worry, challenges, depression and setbcks, a hurdle they wished they never had to cross, a mountain no one intends to climb, a cross so inevitable to carry, a myth to be broken and a jinx we never anticipated, yet we are left with two options to win or lose, 

We have all gone so digital that we find it so hard to still catch up with the traditional way of visiting and checking up on people, eveyone is minding their businesses and as such we are so busy that we don't have time to check and visit those even close to us let alone those far from us. 

So many are dying from the current situation that they can't find someone to talk to, they live trying to manage the situation all by them selves but when they can't, we hear a sad news and wished we could have done better. 

Let's try and reach out to others, no matter how busy we are, a call migth just save a life, a text migth as well change a negetive mindset, a visit can just make all the difference in the world, an act of help can just make someone smile again, a small gift can change a destiny and retrieve hope. 

Welcoming strangers is no longer  what we crave for, eveyone is scared of a close relative now let alone accepting to talk to a stranger or even going the extra mile to assist them, its so hard lately to be open to reception, because eveyone we come across is a suspect of the unknown. 

Let your presence radiate joy to all no matter who they are, in a world full of haze and vices, in a polluted terrain waiting to swallow your good deeds and make you a victim circumstances, yes, its so hard to reach out but your small act of kindness will be appreciated by the universe. 

Like sands and stars, both are highy unique, some are mighty and lives up there, yet some are lowly and live down here, these are who we are, yet we need each other to make the world habitual, take someone out of depression, give hope and create a better domain for us all, no matter the mask we all wear, we hope our laughter outshine our pains.
