Faces

A wise friend said, double the population Everyone has two sides to them What if you are schizophrenic What if you have thirty What if you are like me Can't understand which face you want to choose One hand you aim to please You sell yourself short Making sure no one Feels lower than you always are Then the other face you hide You love to tell the truth But aiming to please is hard When the truth hurts Another face you hide within, The face of certain doubt You know you can't do better So you give up completely The liar, friend, and mother You carry all these too The sinner, saint, and child You wish could all just break through You want to tell the world Just how you feel inside With so many faces Its so hard to hide You struggle each day To find a simple answer A sanctuary, one face A cure to you, a cancer
