| I WEAR MY FACE LIKE CLOWN'S PAINT IT CAN BE WASHED OFF WITH A SPLASH OF COLD WATER..YET WHEN THE COLD TOUCHES MY FACE IT SHOCKS ME INTO REALITY NO MORE FANTASY, JUST WHAT REALLY HAS TO BE PERHAPS IN THE HARSH LIGHT OF DAY I'LL PAINT ON A NEW, STRANGE FACE TO COVER UP WHAT OTHERS SEE IN ME, AND TO BE WHO YOU WANT ME TO BE I'LL WEAR THIS FACE SO NO ONE SEES THE LONGING I STILL HAVE FOR YOU ALL THAT THEY WILL VIEW WILL BE THE DIFFERENT FACE I WEAR A NEWLY DRAWN FACE OF HOPE BORN OUT OF MY DESPAIR A MASK OF CLAY AND COLORS I PAINT UPON MY LOVELY FACE I COVER UP EACH TEARDROP WITH A TOUCH OF CLASS AND GRACE.. HOPING THAT IN CAMOUFLAGE YOU STILL WILL SEEK TO FIND NOT THIS JESTER'S FACE I WEAR BUT THE ESSENCE OF MY MIND UNDERNEATH THE MASK I WEAR MY EYES ARE CRYSTAL CLEAR I NOW APPLY A SECOND COAT TO COVER UP THE INTENSITY THAT ONLY I CAN SEE HOPING YOU WILL WASH MY COLORS OFF AND MAKE A SEARCH FOR TRUTH TODAY I'M EXPOSING MY BARE SOUL TO YOU HOPING YOU WILL CHOOSE TO STAY written by Susan Jane Kahon January 10 2002 10:11 am ICYU!!! |
