Glitz

Shiny paper

And big red bow

Hidden treasures

It’s my pleasure

To meet you

What’s inside

I don’t know

This façade

False bravado

Never telling

Always quelling

Truth from faux

Fix your smile

I’m beguiled

Spit and shine

Want for mine

Dare I peak

What’s behind

The mask

I ask

Is the Actor

Only wrapper

Who knows?
