Love's Masks
Malak Kalmoni ChehabShare your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with our peers’.Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free
Wow!!! This is so real and so beautiful. Social media is supposed to keep us connected to others, but I feel like it often makes us lose or dislike ourselves. This poem is so real and so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. <3

Dear Malak,
You are so right. People today hide behind their social media. That is not a Healthy thing to do. I wish people could be more honest about their feelings and their life. I am glad you have pointed this out. Thank you!

This is so true. I love your Poem Malak. I myself used to be an influencer and when I Started to see that some of my posts would get likes and others wouldn’t get as much likes I would stress out about it. It made me so stressed to the point where I had anxiety because I’ve always wanted to be at the top when it came to doing some thing I liked. I decided to take a fresh air from it and come back and produce better Contant, in with that, I decided to stop thinking about what people think and care about what I think and say that if it doesn’t go viral now, it will go viral someday.

Kayjah, it’s wonderful to see that there’s an audience who understands my work and the ideas behind them. When anything in work becomes that stressful, one definitely needs to step back and decide how badly they want to be noticed.

I love your poem! It’s crucial to remember that we don’t need to hide behind our personas. Even thought social media was created to keep us connected, it’s more like a disconnect from the world and others around us
