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
