came in today with a whole new mask and i'm naked but no one can tell waiting in that plaza to be stoned but the men never did come tore off my veil and bared my soul now he throws it back into my face and he wont look me in the eyes but i'm not sure i blame him and i forgot my name again no one left to remind me and i forgot my mask again and now they know i'm ugly Written March 1st, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 12:10 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
