I don’t want to see it
The smile you have stitched
You frowned when I saw you
But you made a quick switch
Do not hide your sadness
A brave face cuts it no more
There are holes in the fabric
Too large for me to ignore

When you made the mask, you see
You left holes for your eyes
For if you hadn’t left a gap
You’d be left in utter darkness

I can’t bear to see it
The smile you have stitched
Don’t hold it all inside of you
Cause life can be a *****
