Description
I see you looking at meYou've been staring for a while.
You'll try, but you can't see beyond
this mask we call a smile.
I love that some will never know
of heartache, strife, or trial.
Yet those with woes can hide behind
this mask we call a smile.
I know many use this trick
and many they beguile.
Though they be hungry, tired, or sick,
they're covered by a smile.
You would have never known my heart,
I could have faked it all the while
but I forsake the shelter of
this mask we call a smile.

this is brilliant, it has a good voice to me and it reads like it could even be a song

a lot of my work sounds like lyrics. maybe it's because i love music so so much I appreciate the compliment. Is it wierd that I'm far more comfortable posting nudes than words? Perhaps its because with nudes i'm only baring my skin, with words i'm baring my soul?

Hm, a very interesting poem. A smile can indeed mask the intentions we keep in our heart.
