AM I A MARTYR?

I’m wearing a mask,

Untrue, so feign.

Trying to hide my tears

Under the rain.

Putting up a show

For everyone to see

Faking a smile,

Fabricating a story,

Making them believe

That I’m truly happy.

Well look at me

Tell me what do you see?

Am I the woman

You wanted me to be?

Do I satisfy you?

Am I good enough for you?

Do you like the fake gem

Standing in front of you?

Do I look like the diamond

You’ve been dreaming of?

Do I look like that woman,

The one you said you love?

I’m trying my best

To accept this situation.

No matter how hard I try,

I’m just a substitution.

You can call me masochist

‘Cause I endure this torment.

But in the name of love,

 These things I won’t resent.

Call me whatever you want,

For all I care.

But for the man I love,

All these pain,

I can bear.

Now tell me, my dear

 Am I a martyr?

Perhaps, she is really blessed for she both had the beauty and the brain.

            In spite of all the good characteristics she possessed, there is no such word as “true friend” that exists in her life. She is an outcast in her own world and many misunderstood her for she is different. Many teenagers, especially those at her age, are wearing masks and hide their real selves just to be accepted in this complicated world --- a world of pretences.

            This young lady chose to be a loner than to hide in a feign mask. She has been enduring rejection many times which hurts her a lot. But instead of depression, she used her loneliness in finding herself and gaining independence. She had realized that loneliness is a temporary feeling that comes and goes and that there are many things she can do to make the most out of the situation.

Being a loner, gives her time to have the complete freedom to do the task that she need to accomplish, without worrying about what other people will say about her. Through all her experiences in life, she always ends up saying “I am not a lonely person. Instead, I’m just someone who has been given some space and time to grow.” And so, I am human…
