The mask of me

You smile in the two way mirror in my eyes

I put on my faith like I wear a disguise

You can’t see my soul,

see the life that I live

But I show you the mask of the best I can give

I’ve hid here,afraid like a child behind,

the through of the toughts that clutter my mind

What if you knew,about all I do??

The things that I think...

the me that is true???

Would you call me a hypocrite?

Call me a liar?

Would you curse out my name?

Would you damn me to fire?

Would you know what to say?

Would you just walk away,

afraid the me I’ve tried to hide,

Would you closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

I’ve been looking the answers since becoming adult,

Not looking for dogma to live like a cult

I’ve been looking to live,

I’ve been living to find,

Freedom from cages that limit my mind

I’ve been running and hiking and dreaming of flying

But falling and stumbling never shadowed my trying

So now here I am before god and you

Showing my face and my true self to you

I’m not scared of god,

I trust god understands

But I’m wondering if you still offer your hands

Will I scare you?

Upset you?

Frustrate you?

Irrate you?

Challenge your lifestyle or weaken your trust?

Or will you see my effort?

My passion?

Sincerity ?

Will you see just a little of yourself in me?

Will you take off your mask so we can both be free?
