Beauty From Within

masks-
they cover the faces of all the world's people.
only some choice to reveal, the beauty that lies deep within their souls.
no one ever asks another to take of their masks so the truth they never know.
we shall only know their masks and never their beautiful souls.
the beauty about them is not their smile, their beauty always masked.
we shall never see what they truely can be until they remove their mask.
