COVER GIRLA Poem by Valerie Dean Belew FEMALE AGING ISSUES
COVER GIRL
Hide it from your public
Hide it from your friends
Hiding when it started
How it’s gonna end
Imaginary playmates
Hide your rage
Conceal your secret fantasies
And hide your age
Who says I can’t
Be a cover girl
Who says I can’t
Stay inside their world
Cover girl
Cover girl
I’m a cover girl
Just another model
On the playing field
Looking for the passion
Reaching for the shield
Who says I can’t
Be a cover girl
Who says I must
Play it by the rules
Who says I can’t
Do just what I choose
Who says I must
Always sing the blues
Who says I must
Always have to lose
Cover Girl
Cover Girl
I’m a cover girl
Just another model
On the playing field
Looking for some passion
Reaching for my shield
Who says I can’t
Be a cover girl
Who says I must
Cower down in fear
Who says I can’t
Make my choices clear
Who says it must
Always end in tears
Who says it must
Always end with fear
Who says I can’t
Be a cover girl
Who says I can’t
Rock a sleeping world
Can we dig up
ever sunken pearls
Who says we can’t
wake a sleeping world
Cover Girl
Cover Girl
Be a cover girl
Just another model
Level on the field
Looking for compassion
Hide behind a shield
Who says I MUST
Be a cover girl
Who says I MUST
Be a cover girl
