- Face -

I saw a door before me,
a golden gate of life.
Behind its doors I knew
housed understanding.

Yet I cannot shake a feeling...
I feel as if my face is lost.
Sweet countenance.

I miss my face, the one so lovely and fair.
And I miss the feeling the doornob at my fingertips,
Not a nightmare away.

I'm tired of saying what is sweeter heard.
I'm tired of his whim and temper
taking precendence over needs.
I'm tired of being lied to out of convenience.
I'm tired of being an inconvenience.
I'm tired of being tired.

Brother Bluebird,
Have you found my face yet?
