The Mask

I scrub and I clean
'till there's nothing to see.
I work to hide
the real true Me.
Stay away from that room,
don't open that door.
I'm afraid of what
you'll see on the floor.
I can't risk you knowing.
I don't want to see
the look on your face
if you find the true Me.
The meeting is done;
I rest myself.
Dishes aren't washed,
dust collects on the shelf.
Piles get bigger,
my counter disappears.
As I remove the mask,
the dirt re-appears.
My true self now showing
I can't believe my ears!
What did you say?
Your sister wants to stay here?
I get back to work,
must maintain the facade.
Can't let people know
that I'm really a slob!
Stay away from that room,
don't open that door.
I'm afraid of what
you'll find on the floor.
I can't risk you kowing.
I don't want to see
the look on your face
if you find the true Me.
I need a bigger house;
more rooms to shuffle about.
More doors I can lock,
can't let my secret out.
The time has come
it's plain to see,
I must adopt my mask
permanently.
I wonder if.....
I hope it's true,
in time I will become
more like You!
