Beyond the Facade
Beyond the façade
Beyond the untermable countenances
Deep into that realm
Where emotions abound
And vary in variety:
Pensive, happy, sad, joyful,sober,
An eternity of moods,
All masked by that deceitful mask
That is the face
A fake smile to a foe,
A frown to one for whom your heart truly longs,
To mask your desire,
An sigh of apathy in the face of that which you truly yearn for,
Beyond the "perfect" smokescreen
If only we could peer deep down
Into the abyss of the mind
And behold the storm of tumultuous emotions
Which rage beneath such a beautiful countenance
We'll see that its all
Just a façade.
