Sometimes the people with the most faces on,
are the easiest to read. They are as predictable
in the likeness as which they assume they are not.
They are the ones that become angry and depressed everytime
that bit of truth leaks out. They tell of everything
they feel and think only beacause it keeps them secure to know that
others look up to the facade they so carefully have to
groom and keep well polished.
Occasionally amongst all that polishing,
their masks get shiny enough for them
to see their own reflection.
And then they suddenly reel back
to their shells of anger,depession and melancholy.
Sometimes a cold fortress of numbness
-which they attribute to moodiness.
But it isn't moodiness is it?
Its the real face of themselves they see.
Its the one face they neglected amongst all others.
The one face that plagues them with guilt every single day though they might not feel it.
The one face coverd by so so many walls of pride .
The one face they try harder to hide from themselves and everyone else,than they try to keep all their other faces intact.
They are the ones whose hearts' race just a little
bit quicker when they read this. Knowing deep inside
sometimes faces are all they have to them
Why?
Why wont they just let go of their pride and try fixing the most important face of all?
And you ask.
What right? What right do I have to say things like that?
I'll say.
I have as much a right as you have to put on all your faces.

I have no right at all.
