Two faces have I
few folks see me cry
they only see
a smile walking by
nobody cares
anyway
they hardly speak
. . . go their way
two faces have we
you’re a lot like me
let others be
don’t share misery
as if they cared
a token
nobody dared
things unspoken
two faces have I
one alive; one dead
people see
a fantasy
nobody cares
anymore
they never call
. . . seal the door!

I think we all have more than 1 face to show, Sandra. Your piece saddens me, though I can relate. The pain shows through, the face, mourns humanities loss...
