what you have written about is something that most readers can identify with and this is seen in the volume of pieces this site contains about the same subject.
and because so many people have written about masks and facades its really hard to write something that hasnt been written before.
because of all of that i want to say i have read this before in so many forms and expressions that it is hard to know what to say.
i think if you are going to write about masks and fronting as someone you arent and if you are looking to set yourself apart from all the other pieces maybe read some of the other pieces and see what theyve done and try to do something opposite/different.
as for mask wearing itself...
sometimes pain and darkness is only made worse by supressing it... sometimes a little light and fresh air and love does pain and darkness the world of good...
usually the weakness we see in ourselves is rarely seen by others...
