My Face

I look in the mirror
And what do I see
My face looking right back at me
I shake my head and hope to see
The real person staring back at me

Behind the eyes confusion and stress
But a smile that looks so fresh
No signs of unhappiness can be seen
In the face looking back at me.

Contradictions too many to list
Are hidden within the face I see
Torment ,happiness, anger, love
Should I really show them
In the face looking back at me.

Caus really who wants to see
All these things happening to me
Not even I acknowledge the facts
And hide them so no one can see
In the face looking back at me

I need to find the inner strength
That everyone else can see inside of me
Once these things are all aligned
There be no more hiding the real me
In the face looking back at me .

The masks we wear around others, it is so much unnecessary work. We assume too much, that people really won't like the real face we show if we show it. I had a friend the other day have a shook up bottle of pop get all over her lap and she was worried that people would think she had an accident. I said that this is the fair, people are too busy to even notice or care.conversing angel
