    Quote me on this poem!
    Its called THE FACE

    This is the face that bares my name.
    Plain, ordinary, all the same.
    Look harder and you might see,
    This face tells you no part of me.
    It doesn't say how I feel inside.
    It doesn't tell you the things I hide.
    My face doesn't reveal what I think
    Of life, love, or politics.
    But you judge this face and you judge me,
    By what you look at, and how you see.
    But that's not where the truth lies.
    The truth is hidden behind my eyes.
    This is the face that bares my name.
    But it will never tell you how I feel,
    Or who I am!

    Hi, ironclad04!

    That's quite nice! It seems to describe a type of stoicism.

    Thanks!

    Actually I was writing it at the time of a rasicm controversy we had in my school about blacks, and vietminese, and jewish people! I took great pride in presenting this poem to them in front of the whole school, thought they could use a little pride! Thanks for the input!

    Very, very nice! It rhymes without sounding rhyme-y (like so many do).

    Now, since I'm the AMHD queen of spelling and grammar (and punctuation), "bares" should be "bears."
