Pain can be hidden in many ways
Emotional
put on a mask
Physical
put on makeup
No one can see the true pain someone has
They fear it is a sign of weakness
They fear they will be judged for it
They fear people will see through the mask
They fear the makeup will wash off
So we put on our mask
And we put on our makeup
If only to hide the pain

I really like your poem. It is interesting, and I like the contrast you included between emotional and physical pain. The ideas you brought up are true: pain most definitely can be hidden, and no one can really understand the pain that you are going through personally. Great job!
