Close your eyes.. picture me.. What do you see?
I am only one person, with one mind, one soul, one heart.. but I have many faces.. Can you tell them apart? Many say I have the face of an angel..strong and wise.. Look alittle closer.. Can you see the devil in my eyes? In the morning when I awake.. I look in the mirror and ask myself.. Which face shall I wear today? For I have many faces.. Do you see a man torn between who he is and who he wants to be? Do you see a father who tries his best? A man who hides his fears, holds in all his tears? Do you see a friend? A lover? Do you wish to seek and discover? Do you see the child inside? Do you see my wild side? Do you see me as a writer? A delighter? Do you see me as an employee? Future interior designer? Do you see my rage? I feel like the true me has been locked in a cage.. Can you see my confusion? Is this life just an illusion? Can you see my dreams? Can you hear my screams? Do you see my pain? I feel as if I am standing on the outside, looking in.. afraid of what may come.. Yet still through each trial, I hold my head up and smile.. Acknowledge my prides.. Tell myself if I can make it through today.. tomorrow will be okay.. So many faces… longing for embraces.. Now open your eyes.. look at me and tell me.. Who do you see?
