(Y)Angel’s Faces

I'm the girl in the clean, white dress

I sing hymns in church every Sunday

I'm the harried mother who's late to work

My kids are tardy to school every Monday

I'm the closet poet filling countless pages

Stories and poems are my secret therapy

I'm the girl in the backseat of your car

Working hard to maintain my popularity

I'm the ditz who sideswiped your truck

I'm so sorry, I thought I had room!

I'm the flirt, avoiding consequences

Lean closer, do you like my perfume?

I'm the mom at every practice & game

Dinner and homework, then bed by ten

I'm the woman who blew up her life

And guess what, I'd do it all over again

I'm a bad influence on your wife

Hypocrite, you're always DTF (down to fuck)

I'll bring a fruit tray for Bible study

1st Sunday of the month we do potluck

I'm the girl without an opinion

I don't need one, cuz I'm so pretty

I'm the girl who's words turn to razors

I'm quick, I'm sarcastic & witty

I'm the woman you hear at night

The wind carries the sound of my cries

I'm the woman who smiles at work

My happy face is part of my disguise

I'm the blushing bride with scarlet rouge

Lord knows, I shouldn't wear white

I'm the angry woman pacing the floor

When you decide to stay out all night

I'm riding in a bus full of 4th graders

Chaperone on the school field trips

I'm dancing alone when the music stops

While you study the curve of my hips

I'm the life of the party, I love to laugh

All eyes on me, I want your attention

I'm a woman lost, searching in vain

For purpose, or maybe even redemption

I'm an honor student with a 3.8 GPA

I'm a teenage alcoholic, out of control

I'm addicted to meth, 17 and strung out

I'll be your friend if you'll load the bowl

I'm a drunk, popping pills in an SUV

My son's cleats are in back on the floor

I'm having an affair with a 23 year old kid

Didn't you know? Never marry a whore

I'm 15 years old with my first black eye

My poor dad has to deal with my sass

I'm 19 with broken bones in my face

My high school sweetheart just kicked my ass

I'm a romantic fool, aka an enabler

I only love men who treat me badly

I'm teaching a class at work today

My students are scribbling notes madly

I'm a cougar prowling for a distraction

Since you left me alone and heartbroken

I'm a warrior fighting an abusive man

I'm still scared, but that truth stays unspoken

I'm a chameleon, adapting to every moment

I'm an actress with a thousand faces

I'll meet every need, anything for you

I'll call you my Lord, I'll sing your praises

I'm a fake, I'm a fraud, I'm an empty husk

I'm every woman you ever thought of

I'm your mommy, your bestie, your filthy slut

Tell me which face is worthy of your love?
