plastic faces.
they're seen everywhere.
smiles in pictures.
the camera snaps that moment.
the moment everyone has a plastic face on.
the family acts fake.
plastic bodies.
they wrap around another.
embracing each other is false hope.
the time the family is silent.
no fighting can be seen.
no shouting can be heard.
plastic minds.
the thoughts racing through their heads.
when will their parents stop?
is it ending now?
they look at the man holding the camera.
mom has her hand on her son's shoulder. dad has his hand on his daughter's shoulder.
all the eyes were on the screen.
the camera left.
their plastic faces melted away.
their plastic bodies were no longer stiff.
their plastic minds weren't at ease.
their plastic smiles were still shown.
they hid away from the shouting.
one day, their plastic world will become reality.
