Challenge of the Week CIII
Appearances can be Deceiving. Things are not always as they appear. Sometimes a wolf appears in sheep's clothing. We are easily fooled by mirages, illusions, and the like. Write about such a deception. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

tbh

a smile cannot convey much emotion,

as one can be a simple facade,

their mind can be full of commotion,

telling them that they are very, very, flawed

ask any actor about their acts,

they will all tell you that they are all fake,

and when they can’t take it, they will be very lax,

so when you don’t see someone, assume they need a break

a disguise for one can be varied from few to many,

from a smile to a laugh, to excitement over an event,

but for sure there are quite a plenty,

they are always, always frequent, and always with intent

many people are easily fooled by these,

a smile can easily hide tears and sadness,

but to catch on to a mask, it is not a breeze

and it will certainly lead you into one’s madness
