A smile your lipstick lips slip
Mascara eyes show perfect movie
Face portraits masterpiece
Masked under foundation and blush
Sentences flow like a gentle breeze
Jokes speak of humor
Your lines are well learned
For Oscar winning delivery
Laughter echoes in the room
Your words play around
A little dab of colors do the trick
Covering up the mistakes
Amusement park you’ve created
Rides are in place
You scream and shout sitting in the front seat
Breeze brings ocean waves in your eyes
You refer to laughing it all out
A moment of silence if you could create
Let eyes rest for a while
Let heart speak its mind
As you put away the mask
For once unfold your kodak smile
Let heart spill your true story
Hidden behind concocted play
- called – "Falsk Story"
For now it’s that time
Showtime has made it to box office
And you can live your own character
…Stop living a dream
…Let the writer get the Oscar
…As mascara eyes reveal the true colors
…only blue black deserves the solid blue
That would pay the right price
A life behind bars.

Falsk - sounds like False (to me k seems silent

A worthy guess, indeed. I think we all know the message of your poem too well, considering the world we live in. It's sad, and I like how you used the Oscar reference. Good job!
