“Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world… Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.“ Irving Penn A Beautiful Facade by Carmen…
A Beautiful Facade
by Carmen H Gray
Smash it to pieces
The False Face
You wear
To hide
The soft underbelly
The Shadow Self
Rather, the Real Self
We are all Hypocrites
Underneath
The Perfect Portrait
The paint on the canvas
You find
A blank space
The undeveloped opacity
Of newness
And boundless possibility
Yes Carmen, the real you is beginning to show. How wonderful.
