FACE IS ONE FUNNY THING

Face is one funny thing

you never know

when one is wearing a mask

over it, beneath it

its all the same

the smile those tears

and yet

some vibes ooze out

some sprinkle through those eyes

some cunningly spread in the corners of lips

and yet you remain doubtful

to go by those expressions

or let it win

your inner call – still doubtful

so you curb it inside

unlike child

and yet with smile

you hide all filed

and there you wear

a new mask outside

for smiles around

you wear a new smile

it kills to fake it

you detest yourself for it

and yet you have to sit

all smiling to fit

and there you suddenly decide

to keep that mask aside

and there you realize

to be you is wise

to smile when you feel like

all pretensions kept aside

and you do justice to your feelings

you are fair with all dealings

you value your expressions

you just quit unnecessary mentions

there you walk your own way

naked and free to sway

mask-less you feel all light

with inner-self – no more fight.
