no human being so pure

for we all have three faces

that are sketched into us

for two of the faces we hide

and one of the faces we see.

for the world is subjective

seeing what it wants to see

as the world is putting on the labels for us

judging by the outer appearance

dressing us in the words that make the human

appealing or appalling     

for the First Face

is what the World Sees.

for the world may be black and white

seeing what it wants to see

there is more than what meets the eye

for we are conceived from love

whether it be from a mom and mom, a dad and dad, or a mom and dad

family is family and that color the world cannot

tarnish nor diminish it

for the Second Face

is what your Family Sees. 

through the black and white world color does show,

but beware the gray is all consuming

for the shadows lurk around you

always present, always persistent

your worst enemy, your best friend

seen you as no one has seen you

as this is the side that you try to hide

that is sown upon every inch of your being

sees what you see in the mirror as it stares into the abyss that is your eyes

the trust reflection of who you are

for the Third Face,

is what You See.
