The make up hides the bruises.
Her smile hides her pain.
She swears she's gonna leave him, but the next days always the same.

Picasso always said that "Art is a form of lying in order to tell the truth." So whether that poem is true or not, I could never make fun of it, because I know that there is always some element of truth behind it.
