WORK DAY MASQUERADE
By: C. Burns
Written 6/27/00

On a bright hazy morning,
I wake and step into the sun.
Another war is just beginning.
Another day has just begun.

I struggle against the currents
Of an ever changing sea.
I battle the day�s events
And try to remain me.

But deep inside is a dragon
That we all hold and bear.
Hiding it from the workplace.
Pretending it isn�t there.

What would happen if it were free?
I would really like to know.
Letting people see who we are
And all our emotions to show.

Until this war is over
And our faces can finally shine,
I�ll never know your secrets
And you�ll never know mine.
