The Faceless Smile

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

No one seems to know No one seems to see To know or see how I am How I feel How I try All the things they see Are annoying Are faces Are there to share It's all an illusion I'm just trying to please Maybe a little too much But that's how I am It won't ever change It can't ever change It's in my reputation It's in my face You can't see a change I can't see a change It's so far off If I could please Just one person Only one person I would try to please me Yet I can't so I please others I want to make a difference I want people to know I care Yet I want to be faceless I don't want them to know Just exactally who I am I don't know what I want to "be" But I know I want to please I know those kids in Mexico I know the passion, for sports I know I want to share that passion If only I were a nameless, faceless person One who could see them BUt they couldn't see me I want to see the joy I want to feel the love But without a name Or a face So I won't get anything back Except to see the joy and happiness The hugs and smiles If only I could please And not please For now please me So then later I can share With those who need it Smiles are contagious                             ~The Faceless Smile Written January 22nd, 2002 © on Jan 22 2002 12:02 PM PST   0 • 12
