The Observers Crisis

I am the observer; I pass unseen.
Everyone has a part, everyone has a story, and it is all happening, all the time.
I am the observer; I pass unseen. My face is a camera.
I record, I document, I remember, I reconfigure; I edit.
I am the observer; I pass unseen. My face is a camera. When you bother to see me.
When the lights go out, I set my camera down; who am I then?

I am the observer, and by my nature, I see the masks people wear.
The mask of the observer, is well worn.
Who can see behind the mask of the camera?
 I am the observer, and by my nature, I am a loner.
Some players try so hard to convince me the mask they wear, is the mask they are.
But I am the observer, I see the masks people wear.
It is all for naught if they can't see behind mine.

I am the observer, and this is my crisis.
How can I let anyone close to me?
How can I get close to anyone?
The basis of my crisis.
