When they say that I act,
 they know not I am (acting).
 To reveal is not,
 the point is to hide
 The faces you see
 are none but some masks
 My skin's so tattooed
 They don’t see the marks
(Luckily)
 Some drops don’t fall
 They are hinged to the brim
 The chalice of lips
 Spreads wide to contain
(I smile)
 When they say that I act
 They know not I am...

  3. Loved the lines. It is rare that people get to understand or appreciate what goes on within the artist. Your work reflects your sensitivity, but it is possible that not many will sense it. I wrote something about the loneliness of the artist that this poem reminded me of and I thought I would share iwth you and your readers. Keep at it, Blue Eyed Son.
