Challenge
The key is to use one word in either a poem or your prose, and far be it from me to stop a short story from coming to the front of the line.
The word is: disguise. Play it any way you like, either in the title or somewhere in your write ... BUT, you can only use disguise once in your writing ... and PLEASE ... tag me in the comment area not on your written piece ... @Danceinsilence

Masks
I switch from mask to mask
A tailored face to match every occasion
Whether it be joyful or sorrowful,
Festive or morose
I have an expression for it
Act happy, smile, just go along with it
Don't show them what you're really feeling
No one wishes to see the real emotions
No one desires to stand against the truth
No one wants to see how my disguises are cracking by the day,
Bits of chalky plaster crumbling away
Reality shining through
As threads of sanity come undone
Every emotion, just a practiced mask I adorn
In the twisted masquerade called life
