Will you hate me – Dawud Wharnsby Ali

You smile in the two-way mirror of my eyes I put on my faith, like I wear a disguise; You cant see my soul, see the life that I live; but show you the mask of the best I can give. I’ve hid here afraid like a child behind; The truth of my thoughts that clutter my mind. What if you knew about all that I do, the things that I think, the me that is true.

Would you call me a hypocrite, call me a liar; would you curse out my name; would you damn me to fire would you know what to say or would you just walk away afraid the me I’ve tried, to hide would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside.

I’ve been looking for answers since becoming an adult; not looking for dogma to live like a cult I’ve been looking to live, I’ve been living to find; freedom from cages that limit my mind

Would you call me a hypocrite, call me a liar; would you curse out my name; would you damn me to fire would you know what to say or would you just walk away afraid the me I’ve tried to hide would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside.

Will I scare you, upset you, frustrate you, irritate you, challenge your lifestyle or weaken your trust. Or will you see my effort, my passion, sincerity Will you see just a little of yourself in me; Will you take off your mask so we can both be free.

Would you call me a hypocrite, call me a liar; would you curse out my name; would you damn me to fire would you know what to say or would you just walk away afraid the me I’ve tried to hide would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside.
