I know what it is to wear a veil
That you did not create
But helped to decorate.
-
I know what it is to cherish that veil
That allows you to hide
But also covers your eyes.
-
I know what it is to hate that veil
That covers your eyes
And to a life not suited to you keeps you confined.
-
I know what it is to be stuck in that veil
That you tried so desperately to rid yourself of
But that is attached to you as if you were born with it.
-
I know what it is to cut off that veil
That so hinders your every move
And to be completely free.
-
I know what it is for that veil to grow back so thick and fast
That it robs you of your freedom
And binds you even tighter than before.
-
I know. I know. I know.
