Faces

Faces everywhere shield untold stories,

Of hatred, despair and agony,

I see faces all around me,

Withholding secrets deep beneath,

Where do all emotions hide I wonder,

After all the cruelty they endure,

Lips can talk for they can lie,

But expression of face? Within they die,

As I look closer, I realize this fact,

Faces everywhere are just a mask

Re-wrote my first write up, thought it could be described better

That was purely amazing!
"Where do all emotions hide I wonder,
After all the cruelty they endure"

Could totally resonate with these lines as it amuses even me that how people are so easily able to conceal their true emotions.

A great poem. Well written! :)

You'd be amazed as to how easy a person can keep their emotions low key. Great write!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Few people show real face. Your word direct, honest and true. I liked this poem. Thank you Nitesh for sharing the excellent poetry.

Truly said. After a while everyone dissembles their feelings to live peacefully. Beautifully written. I loved it. Thank you so much for sharing.
