Take a seat and make the face that you'll wear,
somewhere
someone watches what you do,there are
two eyes on you
wondering
why you do what you do,
why you make the face,
why every day you come to sit in this place
as if
you're paying a penance by wearing a mask and
the eyes ask,
the eyes mask yet another mask and someone's sharing
what you're wearing.
This disguise you take on,make up and cake on comes off every night,and
when you're alone,
pared down to bone,
you don't have to hide from what hides deep down inside you.
Take another seat
and meet yourself.
