Smile!

"I'm fine," She smiled. "Really!"

Really?

"Haha, I'm strong enough, Rachel!" She laughed and shrugged it off.

I am?

"No worries, okay? I don't need your mushy cheesy cares, haha!" She chuckled.

I actually do need them.

"How about you? How's summer holidays going?" She said. "I can't wait to listen to all your fabulous stories!"

Actually, I don't even care.

"Oh! Look at the time, I gotta go!" I glanced over my watch and said. "Sorry about this, catch up with you next time!"

I have nothing to do at all. But I don't feel like staying here too.

With a bunch of fake bitches.

In the current world we live in, everyone has a mask of their own. It comes with all types, shapes, colours. And you get to choose!

Nah, I was just kidding. You can't see them straight away with naked eyes. You -- feel them.

Talk to them, and you'll see what I mean. They put on masks, and act totally not like their true selves.

They smile -- when they're sad.
They laugh -- when they're jealous.
They offer help -- when they know you don't want it.
They care -- only when you're already fine.
They forgive -- only in front of others.
They stab -- behind your back.
They grew cold -- when they finally tore off their masks.

I hate this world, I hate them all, and I hate myself.

Did I mention I was also one of the masked people? Guess not.

But I see no point in being myself in this fake, meaningless world. Where nothing real even exists; where no one truly cares for you; where nothing can interest you.

There's only one thing I really love about this world. It's when I get to see their torn mask and how bad a situation can turn. They would freak out, and finally their true self will surface and you get to see just how stupid and funny they act! It's always a nice turn of events for me to watch. Or maybe US to watch. Since no one really cares or will help but just watch instead.

Well, off to school now I guess. But not without my mask, and a heart expectant of dramas.

Can't wait!

You or the baby?

A heartbreaking, negative story. Cruel, but truly shows how the world is now. Selfish, despicable human beings.

Identity Theft

Identity Theft
by Kazue Tsubasa

Your identity is stolen. Your familes, friends and even your lover doesn't know you and instead accepts the fake 'you' as you. In a world where your existence is nothing and you're no longer you, that is my fear

My everything is now nothing

Some things change, and it will never be the same. Even if you wished for it to return, it will never return. A sad story of you and him. Angsty and a little poetic. Short poem included aside from the short story.

Yuni The Little Flower

I'm a nameless little flower, fragile and weak. I'm desperate to live and so, I will cling to anything, even if it's pain. I will abandon everything just to live. I don't want to die and be forgotten, but deep down I knew I was wiliting. Poem+Story
