Taking off the masks


Who am I today? A little sad girl
Who is dancing alone,
Who am I today? A wife
With a face like stone.

Only because one man
cannot be everything for me?
And when he doesn’t match
I got upset and flee?

Taking off the sad face
Like worn up shoes,
Putting on the bright face,
Revealing bruise.

Weary of the faces,
Longing for
Impromptu embraces
Trust in what’s at core.
