My Face

It’s my FACE!
I want to yell
Furrowed brow 
Above cold eyes 
Pale, thin lips
In a straight line 
No creases
From a smile
No color 
Or soft edges 
This is me!
I’m not a friend 
I am mean
And full of hate 
Watch your back
You cannot trust
A blank stare,
Frozen expression
Let me scream 
It’s just my face!
This facade 
I hide behind 
Keeps me safe
Shelters my heart
I’m ruthless
Only I’m not
I’m insecure 
I’m sensitive 
And this face
Is my defense
My refuge
And safe place
