This poem is about hiding your true self, from others.
TrueFace

It's hard to tell
what someone feels,
And hard to know
what they may think.
What they may think of you?
What they may feel about you?
As you get closer to them
you begin to read their mind.
It's almost as if
you two are one.
Together as one,
in a family of many.
You see their heart,
see what's inside,
behind their theatrical acts...
behind their smiles...
behind their tears...
You see their heart,
see what's inside.
It's hard many times
cause many are sly,
they know how to wear a Mask...
Their in hiding.
They put on their show,
then when it's done...
lay down at night
with sobbing tears
running off their faces
As rain pouring in a forest.
They wear a good Mask,
nice and thick
to hide their sorrows
They laugh,
as if on top of the world,
looking down with a smile
at everything in it...
while inside,
their dying...
losing hope
of ever smiling with
true face,
of ever laughing with
true meaning,
of being loved by another
but not a love of the mask,
but of the true person behind.
They can hide what they may feel...
They can hide what they may think...
from me.
But God knows all,
He lives behind the mask
in the true heart of the masked.
Only He can reveal the face...
Only He can reveal the heart...
Only He can remove the mask.
