Masquerade of The Soul

In our world, where roles are played

Adorning masks, of different shades

A smile conceals the valiant storm

A facade of hope, the heart to warm

The veil of confidence, vibrant and free 

Paths traveled, most can’t see

Beneath the skin, a fractured soul 

Whispering desire to take control

The Gentle mask, tender and kind

Covered wounds, shadows defined

The one of happiness, so live and carefree

Conceals the weight of a silent plea
