Faces
Every day. Every hour. Every minute. Every second. I see them. And you see them as well. Question is, do you acknowledge them? I will hazard a 'yes' to that. Because I cannot ignore them, and so can't you. Every waking moment there is one in my face. Heck, my face IS one of them. It is the first thing i see in the morning, when I'm staring into the mirror and wondering "Goodness. Is this me? Doesn't look like me. Wait, it is me. Damn." Such is the ugly face of reality. There. another one. Faces. See them, but don't know them, yet i know what they are. Lost? Enlightenment awaits.Perhaps monotony is the cause. Day in, day out, same old, same old. Wake up. School happens. Slumber. Perhaps not so for others, where school comes in the form of work. But the principle is sound. And the same monotony applies for any country's pawn in the endless worldwide game of Economic Domination. Not that the game will ever end. But enough digression. In the course of monotony it is inevitable that some paths will cross. Even if it is but for a brief moment, a brief moment repeated an infinite amount of times would still constitute a rooted memory. And every day, the same faces. Faces I know, that i can recall, yet i don't know the person the face belongs to. There is no name there. No identity.
Then there are the other faces. The ones I've met before, were separated from, and by some ironic twisted fate, mashed together again. Faces i remember long ago, with names i can vaguely recall. I wonder if they feel the same about me. Yes, I remember you. The queston is, do you remember me? When our eyes lock gazes what do you do? Turn away? Or give the Knowing Look? Perhaps they don't want to remember me. Whatever. The feeling is mutual.
Finally there is one last face that I must come to terms with. Papercut by Linkin Park will explain it. The face that is right beneath my skin. The face that everyone has and which no one ever wants to see.The face of the dark side... But if there is one thing about faces that we must all learn, its this: Face your fears, and you will find that they will become much easier to overcome.
