A Sea of Lovely Faces

peoples emotions are complex.
if you care enough to dig them up.
A face can't tell you everything.
We humani have two faces.
One on the surface letting many emotions flitter by.
The second you must drench up, dig up, feel for everything it holds.
It is the face of our true emotions.
Anger, sadness, despair, depression.
When we fake a smile and are really sad on the inside.
These we must decipher, these we must decide.
What is your face? 
Today? Tomorrow?

Nicely written. Sometimes even the person wearing the face doesn't know. Keep writing. Sara
