The Fake Smile

The Fake Smile

A Poem by silentwriter180

The fake smile is in place
The tears are well hidden
My eyes show nothing
But my voice struggles 
with a story to tell

Was my pleasure and you are welcome.
I truly believe that no matter how good the poker face, there is always a tell, especially when it comes to emotional distress. There’s a wonderful vibrato in those last two lines, they just touch the heartstrings. :):)

Welcome, from one relative newbie to another!

Thank you!
Reads about write,
masks are made to be worn,
they should not be hung in otherwise empty hallways
and always check the eyes................................ Tell it like it is, he say's.. Cheers, enjoyed, Neville
