Toxic Positivity

What are you looking at me for?

Why am I masking to you and everyone?

To be positive in order to be a real human?

Keep smiling ? Dont cry, you say?

if that so—- tell me…

If you can see me as a human—

I may be odd.. or strange…

What else do you see me ?

The truth is…

I am wearing a mask..

with this ‘mask’—

If you can see me just a smile, that’s the only thing you can see me as a human…

What you did not see —— it was nothing but a major disguise…

Once I open my mask—— will you promise me?

Do not laugh… okay?

My true face appeared—a sad creature with a lost, dark soul..

Yes, I am sad—

Why am I sad, you ask?

I’ have always been unheard, unseen, and unvalued—

‘Can I ask you a question?

‘Can you still see me? As a human with feelings than just ‘happy’?

If you can see me without a mask, tell me the truth…

you can tell about my pain-—inside and out…

Whatever you do—

Do not judge me nor exclude me from my vulnerability…

I deserve a compassion, so I can stay alive again…

So please, Be kind to me…
