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