Masks

Each day as I rise from my bed
Daily chore I’ve come to dread
Which mask of mine I must wear
For God forbid my face go bare

Part lie, part truth in each mask
Made to help me complete my tasks
But lately something’s happening
Don’t know if I should cry or sing

The masks are becoming a blend
Each taking from each is the trend
I can see when I will have but one
Be myself when I am done

Then I won’t need to hide
I will even have some pride
But until then I will use my masks
So I can complete my daily tasks
