The Trial

Characters:

Judge: The Society

Accused: The Face

Defender: The Soul

The Judge:

Let the defender in.

Do you solemnly swear to say the truth 

Just the truth and nothing but the truth?

The Defender:

I do.

The Judge:

Let's proceed

Relate the facts

The Defender:

I wake up in the midst of confusion

My direction is disorientated

My thoughts are distorted

My feelings are inexistent

Something is incomplete

I can't figure it out

It was bright

The sun was out,

I could feel the breeze

I could hear the sound of the ocean waves

'Oh Soul, beautiful soul

Smile to me so that I can understand what you feel'

The face looked at me saying

Burst out of joy so that I can show the world

How glowing you are

How much positivity you can share

Let me show the world

This spirit of the conqueror that resides in you

I let the light escape itself

I opened my doors

I let my ideas flow to the brain

I was glowing inside like she asked me to

Little did I know,

She was not glowing on the outside

I could not get mad,

I always kept my head up

I always embraced everything with a laughter

I would even laugh with her

Time flew by,

There was too much negativity

That she attracted, it was coming from the outside

I was feeling lonely, uncared for

I was feeling rejected, hated for being myself

I hid myself inside a place

I called it The Cave

I hid there with all my love

I threw away all my smiles

I lost myself in the middle of everything

The Judge:

Let the accused in.

Do you solemnly swear to say the truth

Just the truth and nothing but the truth?

The Accused:

Honestly, your honour?

I will try my best

The Judge:

Let's proceed

Relate the Facts

The Accused:

Yes, I let you down

For I was sad when you were smiling

I locked the windows to avoid letting your brightness out

I closed my mouth to avoid saying nice words

I closed my ears to avoid letting you get the sounds of the birds

But, you don't see what I see

From where I am from;

They don't like to see you happy

How could you be possibly happy 

When everyone isn't?

How possibly could you be smiling

When they are hurting themselves?

From where I am from,

We do not say "Hi" to each other on the road

I of course was scared to look crazy

There is so much you have to give 

I am scared that will be too much for them to take in

I wish I could be strong enough for both of us

Yet,

I have to fight against acne,

I have to fight against pimples

I need to cover myself with makeup

I need to look at myself every second of the day

How many times do you make up?

You do not need that, you can't make up a soul.

Do you have pimples?

No you can't have pimples

All you ever saw was love

I am sorry to have made you see the other side of it

I wish I could smile all day

Sometimes, it's just too much to bear outta here

I am not trying to make excuses

You always tell me to 

"To make the best experience of myself"

However, I never let you express yourself in the right way
