Underneath her mask
Is a little girl, wide-eyed
With wonder at this life--
The pains, the gains,
The discolorations.
Underneath her mask
Is a woman who Thinks,
A woman who Prays,
A woman who Believes:
No matter what "They" say.
Underneath her mask
Is a Soul yearning for
What IS beyond this,
What WILL BE beyond this:
She is "One of Those."
Underneath her mask
You may hear her gasping for air:
She is fighting for every moment,
For the oxygen and energy to absorb
And enjoy this Precious Opportunity.
