Before the elevator opens
I fix my mouth in the steel
Pull my shoulders into place
Make my breathing look ideal
Badge on, sleeves down
Phone screen turned away
I leave the worst part of me
In the bathroom for the day
No one needs the full report
No one asks for proof
I know the version they can use
So I give them that as truth
Public Face
I wear it clean
Easy to read
Hard to reach
Public Face
Nothing out of place
I can disappear
Behind a usable face
I answer in complete lines
No gap where worry shows
I laugh at the right second
Keep the ending of it closed
Someone says I seem composed
I thank them like it fits
They do not see the cost
Of staying good at this
I file the panic neatly
Where nobody has to look
Turn every open sentence
Into something they can book
Public Face
I wear it clean
Easy to read
Hard to reach
Public Face
Nothing out of place
I can disappear
Behind a usable face
There is a woman in the restroom
Counting tiles above the sink
There is a woman at the meeting
Nodding before she can think
One of them is almost asking
One of them already knows
Which one gets to leave the stall
And which one has to go
Public Face
I wear it clean
Easy to read
Hard to reach
Public Face
No visible break
I can keep the day moving
With a borrowed face

After Everyone Adjusted
Veira Solt
For an age where everyone looks composed enough to be left alone
Mass Composure is an album about the quiet exhaustion of a world that has learned to appear unbroken
