I Use Comedy As a Mask

I laugh when I'm nervous or embarrased. I also laugh when I get hurt. I laugh until I cry, and cry until I laugh. A lot of people seem to be this way; so I'm not sure if it's human nature or not.

And still I smiled

Do not mistake my smile...

I think that all of us ~ or most of us ~ use comedy as a mask to hide our true feelings and emotions because we are afraid of how we will be percieved by others. We are afraid to let others know who we really are.
