It's kind of fun to do the impossible

Locket worn around my neck
never opened always kept,
keep your secret hidden safe
broken picture with no face,

Left unto the artist's fate
draw the smile
draw the eyes
never know the pain it hides

Draw the ears,
hair and nose,
never know the pain it holds

Hide behind your guilded frame
let others paint your face by day
by night the paint begins to fade.

The author's comments:
This is about conformity, too many people are just "going with the flow" and not standing up for ourselves, and our friends.
