Drop the mask. Which one?

Drop the mask
  • Take off the mask!
  • Which of the many?
  • That of the morning.
  • The one where I pretend to get up happy?
  • That doesn’t count, you’re just pissed off because you’re tired.
  • I do not sleep a whole night for nearly nine months. The time it takes to transform a normal woman into a psychopath.
  • Take off that of the afternoon.
  • The one where if you ask me “how are you?” I say “It’s okay!” even if it’s not true?
  • Yes.
  • Why should I do that? To bore people with my problems? I become one of those dear ladies who always has a problem and that is never right? Please, not even you believe that.
  • Okay, than take off the one of the social networks.
  • And what would be the social networks mask?
  • How beautiful, you’re good, wonderful, fantastic, etc. You women will always complimenting and then you stab behind your back.
  • I practically do not exist on Facebook, you know.
  • There’s no one to badmouth?
  • I don’t give you this satisfaction.
  • Okay, so take off your evening mask.
  • In the evening I have no masks.
  • You swear it to me?
  • I swear.
  • And that smile on your face before going to sleep?
  • That’s because I’m happy.
  • Really?
  • Yes, that’s the only time of the day I realize that I have got everything I need. Because is there, by my side.
  • Also sleep?
  • I hope that too.
