Just like a shirt cannot
hide the hurt
or a headache
beneath a hat
nor a heartache in a suit
or cold feet in a boot
or glove for a trembling hand
neither a thought I think
could be bound
by a headband
You may appear
cool, calm and collected
but make-up and costume
cannot hide the bleeding
of a wound thats infected
