Half and Half
I face,
You face,
Sad face,
Happy face.
I looked in the mirror
With my tragic mask
And broke the looking glass.
So I looked again, this time
With the happy comic mask--
And blew out the lights.
So start a fire--burn this stage to the ground.
When life calls the awards, I won't be found.
I can't win for losing--I can't even lose for failing.
My failures have overwhelmed my success,
My weakness has overpowered my strengths.
I can no longer face life, I can no longer....
Face happy,
Face sad,
Face you......I can no longer
Face I.
