A Fool With Many Faces
written by: Eoghan Lyng

The fool wears many faces,
But I have only one,
For every smile and tear it fits,
And for all but fault of mine.
A man on one side,
A girl on another,
And between nothing more than air,
To bring two sides to one.
A smile on the outside,
A scream on the inside,
They try to hide,
But they fail.
For ever a fool,
For ever merry
To dance from responsibility
And inner solemnity.
A fool for life.
