THE FACES WE WEAR

Take a look once in a while, slow down, stare into their faces,

Do you wonder If they see your look on a certain day, are you okay?

I’m not talking about the way you frown or the smile that’s loud,

I’m talking about the reality when you turn back around.

I’ve seen what walks in front of me, I’ve seen you but I’ve seen me,

We wear faces of today, we wear also our faces of shame.

The faces we wear are a collection of a lifetime of love and pain,

What we have lost, beautiful things we have gained.
