Faces Hiding

Addressed to: Everyone


Why must you persist in this?
Why can you not see?
Why must you persist in hiding the real you?
Why must you persist in hiding the real me?
Around your friends, yes I can see, you choose the one,
Choose the one who has no real face.
Choose the one who knows not who he is.
Knows not who he is for all the changes you put him through.
Knows not who he is for all the changes in your friends that you must
do.
Why must you persist in this?
Why can you not see?
Why must you persist in hiding what is true?
Why must you persist in hiding what is free?
Around your family, it seems to me, you depend on,
Depend on he, who can always put on a smile.
Depend on he, who cannot grasp the reality of life.
Cannot grasp his own true feelings.
Cannot grasp his feelings through all his dealings.
Why must you persist in this?
Why can you not see?
Why must you persist in hiding any clue?
Why must you persist in hiding what you be?
Around the office, no it is not we, you must don,
Must don, the face who is always moving.
Must don, the face who cannot stop his motion.
Cannot stop his motion, else he fail this one test.
Cannot stop his motion, else he never wake from rest.
Why must you persist in this?
Why can you not see?
Why must you persist in hiding the real you?
Why must you persist in hiding the real me?
For I am here, faithfully hiding where you bid me stay,
Bid me stay, hidden from your friends, family, and fellow workers.
Bid me stay, hidden from all the world.
From all the world, here I do hide, for none to ever find.
From all the world, here I do hide, you are not being kind.
Oh, Why must you persist in this?
Oh, Why can you not see?
Why can you not be happy just being you?
Why can you not be happy just being me?
