I wake up with a fresh face each day. Then I wear the mask of a cook. Go to work. Wear a
mask to do my job with a never ending pretentious smile. After work, I wear the
mask of a driver. Pick up my kids. Wear the mask of a teacher. Help them in
Homework. Then the mask of a maid. Clean after them. Mask of a mom. Feed, read stories, hug goodnight. Last comes
the mask of a wife. Take care of husband’s needs and get to bed. Now I am me.
Mask free. Lost in my world.
P.S: Corinne, this is my very first try to write within a boundary. Hope, it's not that bad.. :)
