There’re so many covers in life,
from make-up, to blankets and clothes.
No one wants to expose what’s underneath it all.
Smiles won’t cover a person’s unhappiness.
Look deep into their eyes; the hurt is hard to disguise.
Lies cover up guilt and uneasiness.
A scar covers a wound, but not the underline pain.
The clouds cover the sun, but don’t stop the rain.
Words cover up feelings with useless thoughts and jargon.
Money covers up many things in glitter and gold.
People try, but they’ll never cover up getting old.
Noise covers up loneliness by exposure to excess.
Food covers up ***, by leaving the body a mess.
*** covers up intimacy in many.
People searching for intimacy through *** alone,
don’t find any.
Success covers time but doesn’t always bring joy.
Fear covers up everything; fear is a decoy.
Drugs cover up life, with a shot, a puff, or a sniff.
In the end we’ll be covered in a mound of dirt.
I hope you gave it your best because
what was underneath it all will be finally laid to rest.
