Painting FacesA Poem by SophieHave you ever heard of The Mask that people use? I've noticed it's mostly girls...Faking happiness is an art It takes a lot of skill, a lot of practice but mostly, it takes a broken heart.
I've noticed that when men get broken and unhappy they move on and wallow waiting for a new dawn But when a girl gets broken and mangled she has to hide it she has to fight it So the fake smile is painted on her face, the water used to clean the brush, her own tears. The red lips, painted in blood, longing for another kiss.
Men, they don't have to fake they don't have to paint their face because they aren't forced to they aren't seen as weak they don't have to hide every sob every shriek.
Faking smiles is an art it takes a lot of red paint but mostly, it takes a broken heart and some pain. © 2012 SophieAuthor's Note
