Masks - A Poem

I never really did like my smile. I can tell you that much for sure. It always seemed forced, like mine just wasn't as real as the rest of the worlds. I've always likewise been envious of people with big beautiful smiles like you see on television. I suppose now I know why. I simply was never meant to wear one. It is fake. Oh well.


Placed upon as some disagreeable task
It begs a question that one must ask.
We've all seen them, so question someone you know-
Inquire them promptly, "What's behind your mask?"

Please don't touch and don't dare to know.
It's fragile as porcelain, and white as snow,
In a time forgotten I donned my own-
This mask became me, ages ago.

This smile if fake, though a piece of fine art.
Let this mouth fool you, and it'll tear you apart.
So don't get to close now I knew from the start-
Honest to God, I will break your heart.

Right there with you, bro. Good shit man, you've got some pretty dope talent there!

Thanks CPK! ^.^ Really, I always enjoy feedback though few people comment on such things, as if it's some unspoken rule to leave peoples art alone haha.

Your an artist yourself, don't stop the GFX man I'm a huge fan. Look forward to more poetry, it just sort of comes to me from time to time hahaha. Take care, thanks again. And remember to smile, even if you do fake it
