Who shall I be……
Happy face. Sad face. Mad face. Worry face
This face hides the tears
That face hides the betrayal
This face hides the truth
That face hides the brokenness
Perfect face. Sparkle face. Famous face. Important face.
Perfection will cover mistakes
Add sparkle to highlight achievements
Fame can compensate insecurities
Social status reveal my importance
Lying face. Promiscuous face. Addict face. Gossip face.
Should I tell lies to be the coolest
Should I parade my body to be the hottest
Should I trade my life for pills to be the happiest
Should I ruin your life to be the greatest
Wear the face that fits…
Or wear the face that hurts?
Wear the face that conquers…
Or wear the face that flirts?
Every emotion
Every expression
Learn to smile and try not to laugh
Master every twitch and tick
Now…. ….Where is my identity
