PLASTIC LIVING.

Living is not simply breathing.
No,it's much more difficult
and complicated than that.
But maybe what complicates it
is neither the tragedies we
nor the people we live with.

May be it's because of our differences.
And those bad sides we just can not
let out to the world.
Those facts we choose to council.
To hide away and hopefully forget about.
The ones that just don't feel right.

Being gay for example.
It makes you feel abnormal
And to some extent uneasy.
You think of what could happen
if they all found out.
How disappointed they'll be.  

And it's maybe that fear,that shame and that terrible feeling
that makes you wear a mask,
take a deep breath and pretend that
every thing is fine.  
And just like that,you choose to live a plastic life.
