'Faces', A Poem by Joy C

Faces

Face reflections on the floor

Faces on the side walks

Faces on the subways

Faces on the high low

And faces on the down low

All realities for all to see

 

Everybody in my way

Everybody poking at me

Everybody parking my way

Everybody competing and dishing at me

All realities for all to see

 

Everybody doing their thing

Everybody fulfilling their work

Everybody coming my way

Everybody coming your way

All realities for all to see

 

These realities are broken down

These realities all start for me

These realities all start from you

Every day, every moment, everywhere

It’s reality you see, with faces I see

 

This is what I see, from what I feel; a mirror of me

Sometimes I feel like crying

Sometimes I feel filled, I am over heating

Sometimes I feel I am broken

Other times I feel another me

Other times I wake up and smile

Other times I need perfection

Sometimes I wake up and wonder

 

This doesn’t seem like anything

But believe me it’s everything

It’s filled with wonder

It’s filled with monsters

But don’t worry it’s all for you to ponder

 

It starts with me; someday I’ll let you see

This is it, ask of me, you will see

Ask me and I will tell you where my heart lays

What my face shows, what my heart feels

I am surrounded, so ask me now, and I will tell you

 

You’ll have to open it to find out

You’ll need to open it to be in tuned

It’s for you and only you

Its plans you have and need to face

It lies in my face and you will face it

This is it, for you will face it
