Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Masking the Pain

One day she was Jane
 Next day she was Mary
 Was she going insane?
 I found it quite scary

 She went to the therapist
 He treated her with hypnosis
 For a while she was fine
 And then she said her name was Caroline

 So she went back to the therapist
  So he could come up with another plan
 But something was amiss
 This time she called herself Ann!

 I had four women in one
 But there was a little girl inside
 Who was  trying to mask the pain
 of her childhood trauma
 But her tears she could not hide
                     ----
