    The speaker expresses feeling afraid to show their true self to others for fear of being judged as a hypocrite or liar. They hide behind a mask but yearn to be free of constraints on their mind. They question whether revealing their authentic self would scare others away or help them feel less alone in their own struggles. The poem explores the universal desire to be fully known and accepted for who we are beneath any façades.

    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 Show you the mask of the best I can give Ive hid here afraid like a child behind. Truth of my thoughts that clutter my mind. What if you knew about all that I do? 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 Ive tried to hide Would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside? Ive been looking for answers since becoming adult Not looking for dogma to live like a cult Ive been looking to live, Ive 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 Ive 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 a lifestyle or weaken your trust Or will you see my efforts and my passionate sincerity Would 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 Ive tried to hide Would too closely resemble the truth of you that lies inside?
