Veil


Every morning

I used to put on a veil

A mask

A cover up

Leaving behind a gloomy trail

Frowns

Tears

Anger

Sadness

Hid behind a beaming smile

Customer service spec

The highest standard 

Altered and polished to perfection

I came in a box

Stood in a doll like proud position

Good posture

Well rehearsed 

Well behaved

Conforming


Until one day

I never put my mask back on


Instead of repetition

To the same customers questions

I answer with

I am tired

Grieving

Exhausted

Angry

Excited

Relieved 

Hungry

Embarrassed


I am honest
