⁣I love all your smiles, as long as I can see them.

The mask is disguising emotions, which humans rely on when interacting with others. I think the mask is intimidating, because it looks like they're hiding something from you, which is abnormal.

The mask I wear every day,
To cover the sins,
That will never wash away,
All that I am stays within.

You've always tried to get inside,
I will never leave myself so exposed,
The inner me will always hide,
Behind a door forever closed.

That is my poem. It was written to go with a piece of artwork that I created.
