[hometext] => This poem isn't good but I thought that since it's related to most people I'd put it up.
[bodytext] => This mask that was placed upon our souls We knew it'd be impossible to break What little chipped off and what is still left We can only dent the mask placed on our fates Intricate patterns splayed across the face, tattoos of where we've been scarred We change faces with each persona knowing the attitude they desire Our lives are always held by a thread And the mask we wear only helps us wear it down But this mask we hold so dearly, is the mask that never shatters And our pains only deepen with each smile we give We speak carefully, engaging one another Never knowing the sadness it carries No one ever knows until it's been too late And when the soul is laid to rest, it's garments in rags and it's wounds still fresh Just know it's because no one ever cared how bad it hurt.
