Being And Becoming

At the mirror she stopped
for a few moments she watched
her reflection fading to nothingness

Raised her shoulders in indifference
turned her back at this mere inconvenience

and now she knew

Unceremoniously she put her mask on
"Only when I put you on I'm true
and only then I'm something"...
