Aka Personality

You love seeing things how they used to be, looking key thru a one-way, funhouse mirror Your own mistakes, you never seem to see ... a cloudy future that ain’t getting any clearer Wishing new love is waiting at the next stop, another face looking up at the ceiling Old habits be moving to a fresh place to plop, dark past cloning wax candle feelings Multiple faces in a sad, shattered mirror, which one today will you choose to be To Hyde your unstable emotional Jekyll, will it be the same A.K.A personality? Seeing things how they never could be, chandelier tears falling on a moist mattress mirror Your other selves, you cannot ever see, breathing thru an Oz veil makes you feel Toto freer Greyhound new life waiting at the next town, leaving no sin trace of wretched past failings Smiley feelings face-painted on a Killer Clown, hiding sly feline creeping back alley dealings Pagliacci faces in a distorted mirror, which one tomorrow will you choose to be To disguise your emo Dr. Hannibal, another totally different A.K.A personality A changing kaleidoscope person everyday people see, countless chameleon characters in a cracked mirror A human suitcase packed with multiple personalities, A.K.A Dorothy you feel your Toto is fetching nearer

Wow Freddie. The same person can wear so many different faces. Clowns, killers, con artists, and a little girl. Love and fave this one.

Your images are so vivid and rich in figurative language that your poems are a joy to read.
