I Have Many Faces

Written By: Kathleen.Ross----I Have Many Faces
Close your eyes.. picture me.. What do you see?

I am only one person, with one mind, one soul, one heart.. but I have many faces.. Can you tell them apart?

Many say I have the face of an angel..strong and wise.. Look a little closer.. Can you see the devil in my eyes?

In the morning when I awake.. I look in the mirror and ask myself.. Which face shall I wear today?
For I have many faces..

Do you see a women torn between who she is and who she wants to be?

Do you see a mother who tries her best?
A women who hides her fears, holds in all her tears?
Do you see a friend? A lover?
Do you wish to seek and discover?
Do you see the child inside?
Do you see my wild side?
Do you see me as a writer? A delighter?

Do you see me as an employee? Future interior designer?
Do you see my rage? I feel like the true me has been locked in a cage..
Can you see my confusion?  Is this life,or just an illusion?

Can you hear my screams?
Do you see my pain? I feel as if I am standing on the outside, looking in.. afraid of what may come..
Yet still through each trial, I hold my head up and smile.. Acknowledge my pride..
Tell myself, if I can make it through today.. tomorrow will be OK..
So many faces… longing, for embraces..

Now open your eyes.. look at me and tell me.. Who do you see?
