[創作] Face

[frolicker (像孩子般)]

We all seek the eyes of recognition
Of family, peers, and the ones in relation
Pursuing and disguising to be－
No matter what it be

And it becomes the mouth full of lies
Which our identities so fast it ties
Then comes the sickness of dignity
Knowing simply to win is the pathology

So regardless of what's sincere
Or the deep heart's true fear
On our cheeks we build a tall facade
Holding it as if holding a rod

And we shout out every principle
Of reasons hardly understandable
Our noses neglect studiously
The hiding stinks of inward actuality

We are surely perfect actors on stage
Improving our acting by the raise of age
Crucial is retaining the light on Face
No matter in what darkness we pace
