Hopelessness concealed with smiles,
Rage camouflaged as laughter,
Sweet embraces, actually lies,
disguised as "happily ever after".

That's a powerful line you added in your author comments. I can relate to this poem; somehow I got really good at hiding things behind 10 billion different things. Anyway, great job expressing such complicated feelings in so few words. Impressive. -R.T
