Early Life Crisis

With a mask upon a brave face
and a smile that hides,
loyalty surpasses sight
and faith surpasses reason.
As ruler of knowledge and skill,
and observer for truth,
pieces come through
painting a picture wide;
a coin of perspective
flipping with the view,
speaking with careful choice,
inviting others to freedom.
All to slay the demons within,
and lift the veil of deception.
Eternal servitude to these little lessons.

(Can you spot the crisis?)
