				<description>&lt;p&gt;Here’s a poem I wrote from a darker time in my past.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;It’s makeup.&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;A mask that covers the broken soul,&lt;/em&gt; *A shivering beauty looking out through cracks and fissures hidden in unsubtle coverings.*&lt;em&gt;Attempts to conform or portray, show a measure.&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;To distract through pearlescent hues the emotions of a being hardly held together.&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;The voice crying for attention, duplicitous in its dealings, becomes the audible mask.&lt;/em&gt;&#xA;&lt;em&gt;Coy and soft to world outside, screaming pain and insecurity the being hidden cries.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
