[bodytext] => 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!
