Forced expressions
conceal my inner grief,
illusively veiled smiles
my only real defense,
While instilled deeply--
true emotions lay dormant.

With your words you ripped the mask away and let those emotions rise to the surface if only for a moment. I thought your take on the prompt was unique in its subtlety.
Best wishes in the contest.
