Smile
The pins in her face
The painted smile
That isn’t permeant
Because it peels from time to time
Feeling as a sticker
Lifting a little
To see the real smile on her face
Placing the sticker back down
When she couldn’t bare to lift the lines on her face
Her face felt like weights
As she faces the mirror
Looking back at herself
Lifting the sticker
Showing her permeant face
Pins fall from her face
As tension was deflated
Weights were lifted and not having a place
She smiled to the sky
asked God to plant her feet
Take it away
Then I will follow his plans
Blessed faces are naturel
Not temporary graces

An interesting examination of real individualism and identity. Well done.
