I have no name. I am no one. Is this line really necessary? Being faceless already suggests this. Also, the repetition of the very same word at the end of two consecutive makes the beginning of the poem feel slow, while than the poem attempts to be dynamic. Not sure if you want the beginning and the end serve as a frame for the poem, if so, might work, if not, I would make the first and last two lines rhyme (and completely changing the second line)
But I know the secrets
you thought you hid.
I see the deeds
you never did.
I hear the words
you dare not speak.
I think the thoughts
you fear to seek.
I’ll be your judge
on that day to come.
I'm taking names,
I'm leaving none. All this lines seem to be negatin lineg 2. In the beginning, the lyrical subject states they are nothing, and in the following lines it proves the very contrary. Leaving the secondl line out would make the poem make more sense, since it would in a way explain what being faceless one means.
So remember me:
I am the faceless one. This ending says everything that has already been said, adds nothing new, maybe you could explore some new aspects of being faceless, not just restating.
Thistles.
