but the face of a child
which tells the whole truth...
Behind the face of a child
a story's yearned to be told,
yet most are conditioned
to fit a 'clear' mold
The hope of life shined
in these innocent eyes,
until truth became crushed
blindsided by lies
Budding visions were broken
and expectations formed,
for the child to now fit
society’s norm
The face learned to lie
to be accepted by peers,
the mask quickly grew
hiding deepest of fears
The perfect disguise
a face knows to perform,
an act with all scenes
the story transforms
True identity's lost
it takes the mask's form,
distorting the face
of a child that was born
Serving this mask
has imprisoned the child,
in the dungeon of an adult
where a true face is reviled
What’s become of the child
who once was so free,
now enslaved to the lie
formed for you and for me
Yet the child inside
still yearns to be known,
but fear holds the mask
till it’s cover is blown
the masks that they wear,
while it may fool others
some really don’t care
Then who can accept
a child with their scars,
and uncover the mask
to see who they are
The mask is transparent
to The Creator above,
who longs to restore
this child with kindness
and love
