The world sees what you show them. The mask you put on, the smile, the behaviour. In some cases it goes deeper, hiding your true self.

The masquerade shows the warped perspective of a person living through it - hopefully showcasing the need of understanding those people.

I do hope that anyone who is forced to wear this mask, one day will be able to put it down.
