two faced

A Poem by shadows

leading a double life ........oh it's not that easy

I had two faces all my life
and none of them was pretty
the first face said I'm alive
the other deserves your pity
the first one had a wide smile
the other had oxygen mask
the first one wanted to know
but the other wouldn't dare ask
the first face was a big lie
dream of living while I'm about to die
it had dreams as big as the sky
with every new thing I wasn't afraid to try
wanted a life that I could call my
I wished for happiness that could make me fly
I wanted to stop watching myself cry

but then I take off this face and put on the other
and all those happy dreams break and shatter
I lead a double life
but it ended too soon
those words will be written on my headstone
