The Faceless Woman
Updated: Jul 5, 2022

She is the wild heart searching for her Other
She is the conditionally loved and cherished child
She is the lonely girl who coldly stares at another
She is the sequestered adolescent who beguiles
She is the woman who stays silent as they take from her
She is the loyal and apathetic friend
She is the hopelessly devoted and ambivalent Mother
She is the tentatively committed wife without end
She has become an amalgamation of what Others need her to be
And when she removes all her masks in the stillness of the night
There is a faceless woman, who is She?
For She had expected to see the faces of Others
But what She sees is herself staring back at me
