What mask shall I wear?
Who shall I be today?
The mirror always lies to me
And what it tells me, I don’t care
Shall I be a young woman today?
And don life’s expectant mask
Or shall I be the older woman today?
With an all knowing glance
Shall I be a mother today?
A loving mask to her brood!
Or shall I be a single woman today
Who life, hasn’t understood
Should I wear a sensual mask today?
And know what pleases me well
Or should I be the intellectual,
And pretend I know everything well!
Shall I be a poet today?
And write of life’s emotions
Or shall I wear a corporate mask
And look at RoE quotients!
Shall I reveal a lonely woman?
And wear a mask of hope
Or should I be the social butterfly
That’s get around but never home
Who shall I be?
What mask shall I wear?
I don’t have anything worth wearing!
For what I want, is a new mask, thats really worth caring.
The new mask should merge together
All my previous masks
And fashion anew, to smashing previews
A happy woman’s mask!
