THE MASK

A poem on what a smile actually hides.

The mask; 

A smile 

It hides pain and sorrows 

Everyone borrows, 

A smile 

The truth that lies behind it; 

A smile is a mask for those 

Who do not want others to know; 

A smile 

It is charming;  

 It wards off doubt 

A smile is a lie 

A lie that is useful  

A girl smiles to say she is okay 

Deep down she is sad. 

A smile, 

 Is used to cover pain,
