THE TRUTH THAT LIES INSIDE
[ by Dawud Wharnsby Ali ]

.............

You smile in the two way mirror of my eyes.
I put on my faith like I wear a disguise.

You can’t see my soul, see the life that I live.
But I show you the mask of the best I can give.

I’ve hid here, afraid like a child,

behind the truth of my thoughts that clutter my mind.

What if you knew, about all that I do?
The things that I think...

the “me” that is true?

Would you call me a hypocrite? Call me a liar?

Would you curse out my name?

Would you damn me to fire?

Would you know what to say?

...Or would you just walk away,

afraid the “me” I’ve tried to hide
would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?

I’ve been looking for answers since becoming adult,
not looking for dogma to live like a cult.

I've been looking to live, I've been living to find,
freedom from cages that limit my mind.

Will I scare you? Upset you? Frustrate you? Irrate you?

Challenge your lifestyle or weaken your trust?

Or will you see my effort? My passion? Sincerity?

Will you see just a little of yourself in me?

Will you take off your mask,

so we can both be free?
