Anoush Harrison-Jackson Poet Free verse

Disguise

The frown that is hidden beneath that smile can never be revealed.
Rosy pink lip gloss concealed the bruised lips or ego.
Concealer, Face Powder, Eye shadow mask the TRUE self.

Matching outfits and shoes galore,
Purses, Hand-bags... The latest fashion trends help to give a false sense of accomplishment.

Money in the bank... check
House on the hill... check
A SUV or a CRV or a PRADA OR a BENZ... check
But where is happiness?
