The biggest shall protect the small That’s how the doll’s life goes Lies that cover up the truth So weakness does not show And even if you think you know What really lies within Another face laughs mockingly In secret with a grin Each one is different, yet the same With layers stripped and worn Who can tell what’s real from fake With this ever changing form? I realise now, they are not masks Nor lies or false facades Instead they are a spirit, whole Made up of different parts
(I’ve long accepted I am me Even the parts you cannot see)
