These Faces I Am

Fervent as they may be They’re fake A ruse Faces I put on for show But these faces I am When I act, these faces I am Gasps and tears from a wildly crowd Their applause makes my heart pound Evoking emotion in one, two people, or an empty theatre All the same, I’m more than who I am while on stage These faces I am When I act, these faces I am

I really like this one, Shreya. It reminds me of the two masks for comedy and tragedy.
