Frosted

Sometimes, it's more beneficial if you don't see all of what's inside,
Sometimes it's better if you can't see through.
The glazed pair of eyes that doesn't reveal the soul,
The empty stretch of a smile that gives a person his fake glow.
But just like frosted glass, you can't clearly see yet you can indeed tell,
And just like frosted glass, what's underneath has never been revealed so well.
