Veiled Troubles
December 13, 2023
Who are you? No features on your face?
I sense your thoughts, a familiar trace.
Your mind, a window, crystal clear,
Filled with black feathered birds, I'm afraid.
What troubles you? What trials have you been.
through, so dreadful that your face can’t be seen?
Afraid to reveal sorrow, a sign of despair,
a mask to avoid showing weakness, you wear.
Your body whispers, “I'm afraid.”
Hidden face, emotions betrayed.
Yet, if concealed, you’ll fail to realize,
Your true self, forever disguised.
