True Face
by Sam M. Phillips

I see how you are haunted,
It is because you flaunted
Your sin with pride,
You cannot hide
Your true face from me,
I was born to see
Through liars,
Through deniers of self,
I sense you need help.

And so I talk
To you through centuries,
It is one of my duties,
Examine your mind,
Try to find
Where you went wrong,
Otherwise, you simply prolong
Your own pain,
And the lesson
Must repeat again.
