Everyday as I walk across the halls in my high school, I always notice the large amount of makeup teenagers wear as well as the expressions they carry behind their perfected face. Their fake smiles have never fooled me when I see the emptiness and actual emotions they must always carry with them in a secluded part of their mind. My poem is about reality, about how many teenagers socially carry themselves using an invisible mask. This poem was inspired from a program in my school called challenge day, which was about overcoming our insecurities by talking about our personal problems. I hope people will be able to relate to my poem, and change themselves by talking about their personal problems openly to feel better and find solutions or happiness through their struggles.
