The Faces
I once went to the store
And as I walked in the door
I saw a face
That was all I saw
So I walked closer to the face
And as I did so
I soon observed a group of faces forming around it
All of them were different colors
As I walked into the circle
I noticed something quite remarkable
They were talking to each other
So I listened to what they were saying
And to my surprise
One at a time, each of the faces told each other about their troubles
They told each other their problems
They told each other their passions
They told each other everything
And that made me wonder how such different faces could possibly get along
How could they share their feelings
How could they talk to each other without noticing that they were a different color
I was stuck in thought
I couldn’t find the answers
I just couldn’t
So I looked more closely
And then, I saw it
The faces were only different in their color
Everything else was the same
So I questioned myself
How could they not get along
Was I not thinking straight
Then I realized these faces were the same
It was just how I first looked at them that changed everything
Maybe I should have just looked at them a little harder...
