THE STRANGER

Who are we after all? Can we truely describe ourself to others? I started thinking aobut this the other day when I was presented in a situation where I had to introduce myself. We all start with the familiar "Hi, my name is." Then we continue on to the describe a little of our likes and so on and so forth. After this, everyone seems to be content that we now know the stranger amoung us! Could this actually be? After all we dont really divoulge anything, did we? Which brings me to the other point, how many people truely know us? Do we even know who we are? Seems that we all have multiple personalities that we bring out in different situations to different people. Yet we have many more that we don't even show to anyone. Why? Might it be that we are scared of being accepted? Could it be that many people feel the same way and that we are all just freaks but too scared to show it? It becomes confusing trying to keep all these characters in check. Which face do I show now? There is this one face one face that I been wearing more often now and it was one that I had hidden and hardly brought out. But more and more I been feeling more confident with it. More and more I am seeing that its not a scary face as I had thought. So why do we fear and hide the face of the stranger.
