Literature Text

When someone ask how you are doing
You force a smile
Because it is the decent thing to do

When someone ask if you are fine
You are too eager to answer
Because a false "yes" is more appropriate than a genuine "no"

When someone comments on your weary posture
You brush it of with a hollow laugh
Because that is the proper way to lead your life

And when someone catch you in the act of shattering
You are quick to dry your tears
Becuase it is unseemly to be distressed
I've been feeling unusually feigned lately.

Everyone and everything is frail in these kind of situations.

It is true though, that showing how you truly feel is considered "wrong" in today's society.
