It is so true that we can hide our true feeling behind a mask of a smile and a friendly attitude but when it comes to art we pour our emotions into the pieces unable to hide those feelings the lurk deep within side our bodies and souls. You have painted a wonderful masterpiece here that clearly allows the reader to picture what you are describing.
It should be Than a Mask not Then a Mask. Simple little typo. I do that kind of stuff all the time lol
This is deep and touching, it reminds me of some of my older artwork, pouring your heart into something beautiful, while sometimes feeling sorrowful, it is a great and wonderful outlet. I love this peice!!
Love this.
Hiding behind a mask... Hidden emotions, personality... But no matter how hard someone tries to hide (for whatever reason) I think some of them still seeps through in one way or another.... Like the woman in your poem - creating something different in her art -the canvas becomes her mask painting a smile, a false reflection of herself - all she really feels is pain / feels broken...
Really great work here. This has a great flow to it and reads so well - an intriguing and captivating write from start to finish.
Loved this Cowboy...I felt sorry for the girl/woman who is hiding all by keeping her true feelings tucked up inside. Such a lonely sad life and even more difficult to be able to cover up and act out this charade.
Great how you can produce suchlikes from an observation.
Lovely and thinking verse! I like how you've compared a woman's emotions with a canvas. A canvas which she paints with gentle brushstrokes to hide what lay behind the painted smile...The Macabre and the Mardi Gras. Word choice is outstanding and the flow is perfect. Wonderful write!

It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool
