Survival

​

To hide
In plain sight
A smile
Decorating,
Convincing,
Distracting,
Paints the face.
Your voice,
They say,
Is important,
When you tell the story
They want to hear.
Your blame
Is your own
When you do not fight
Despite
A lack
Of Strength
To hide
In plain sight
A smile
Adorned 
Persuading
Feigned
