Plastic Mask

Plastic Mask

What mask should I wear today?
Which piece of plastic to cover my pain?
To hide who I am, to be who you want
An attempt to look on the outside like something I'm not
Do you want someone strong?
A solid rock to lean on?
Or do you want someone soft and tender?
Whatever you want, I'll try to be her...
Do you want someone always on the go?
Or should my pace be steady and slow?
What mask do you want? What shape? What color?
What size? What style? For what kind of weather?
On the outside I can always be who you will
I can keep this act going, keep pretending, but still
I am who I am, no matter how hard I try
To cover up who God made me inside
Eventually, I think, it all will show through
The good, the bad, and the God things too
I want come out, to let myself show
Because only then can I truly grow
Will you let me be who I am?
I want to come out, and with love, I can.

Be who you are my female friend because your soulmate must love you the way you truely are, regardless of your faults or your sins, because God knows he has faults and has committed sins just like you. All woman need to be loved by their soulmate, otherwise the man is not fulfilling his end of the bargain with the Holy Mother.

A man must forgive if he wishes God to forgive him, especially in matters of love.

very true... thanks. though, now that i go back and look at it... i see where you could have become confused. i actually wrote this without thinking about anything romantic at all. the masks are something i think we all wear at times... around anybody/everybody. for instance, this was written after i had a talk with my boss (whom i don't get along with very well... long story, but i digress)... around him i have to put a mask on in order to remain semi sane at work... sometimes i feel like i have to wear a mask around others too.... its what God's working on me with... and with the love of Christ, i can do it.

thanks though!
