No Masks

A beautiful woman stands in a room, no one turns to stare, not many people realise she’s there. Over taken by vanity, nothing inside, she's not the kind of woman that ever tries to hide. But the guys all want her; they know thatshe’s game, when they take off her clothes she’s just left with her shame. She might not be clever, might not win every fight, but she’s taking off the make up, the mask; she wants to be herself, tonight. He wakes up beside her,can't remember last night, but he knows something went wrong and they got into a fight. His wife sits at home crying; he calls in the morning crying as well, asks her forgiveness he's sorry he fell. “Please forgive, and forget, I can't live without you, you mean twice as much than she could do.” She was just a beautifulwoman, standing in a room,though people turned and stared, they didn't really notice her there. She was over taken with vanity, nothing left inside, butshe’s had enough and she just wants to hide. Guys want to touch her because they think that she’s game, but when they takeoff her clothes there is nothing left but shame. She might not beclever, might not win every fight, but she’s taking off the make up, the mask and thelies; she wants to be herself, tonight. She wants a lover to be more than a friend, and she wants this vanity to come to end. She doesn't want the guys to just use her then leave, but through the years she’s come to believe; when they all turn and stare, they don’t really see her there. But with no make up, no mask, without telling no lies, she can be herself, she may not be clever and she don't win no fights but boy if she could be herself, they'd all stay, yes if she could be herself; just for one night.

Hey, I'm a simple creature really with a very messy mind and I think my poetry often shows this. I am a student and writing is what I do to escape from all the stresses that entails... I write far too many poems when I should be writing essays...but...
