Real

Real
All alone 
The smile becomes a frown 
All alone 
The laughter becomes a cry
The Mask has been removed 
Bring on the tears
All alone 
Kindness becomes anger 
All alone
Love becomes hate
The suit is off
All alone 
 Your true self is exposed

Jonathan, wow, now that is real. I was trying to educate a friend early this afternoon, the difference between real and reality. LOL, point on. You hit it right on the nail. Nothing real, on the show we put on for others. Awesome poem... SKAT
