How much can a smile hide?

WE wear the mask that grins and lies,

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—

This debt we pay to human guile;

With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,

And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,

In counting all our tears and sighs?

Nay, let them only see us, while

We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries

To thee from tortured souls arise.

We sing, but oh the clay is vile

Beneath our feet, and long the mile;

But let the world dream otherwise,

We wear the mask!

A lot, but it depends on what the rest of your face is doing, and what you're hiding.

Alot

It can hide everything if you make it look right.

a little smile can hide somuch

Infinite amounts.

Everything

everything...for me it hides the pangs of despair and the fear of facing a horrible, lonely death...maybe one day, my smile will be permanently etched on my face in death...only then, can those who tormented me, kiss my dead butthole.

if you see their bottom row of teeth when they smile you know it's a fake. just fyi

Not bad teeth
