Just Traying to be honest

Just trying to be honest


Behind which other masks
do we hide our face full of scars

deep scars
dark

So many masks that we have worn
Just to meet other masks on the face adorn
on the world play stage we perform

on the many thoughts that flash
in the mind behind so many masks

so let yor real face reveal
it is the veracious way to talk to yourself for real
and to God not to conceal
