Behind the Mask

Shadow stepping, slinking through the haze,

Mirror cracked, reflection lost in the maze.

Secrets stitched tight, threads fray at the seams,

Behind the mask, I’m the ghost of your dreams.

Behind the mask, where the truth don’t sleep,

Underneath, where the shadows creep.

Painted smiles, but the pain runs deep,

Behind the mask, my soul I keep.

Eyes like daggers, cutting through the dark,

Silent whispers, left a permanent mark.

Smoke and mirrors, every move’s an art,

Behind the mask, where the real me sparks.

Velvet lies, tangled in disguise,

I’m the riddle, you can’t analyze.

Shattered glass, truth amplified,

Behind the mask, where my heart resides.

Breathing fire, but my voice stays low,

Caged beast, waiting for the glow.

Chains of doubt, but I still grow,

Behind the mask, I’m the undertow.

Behind the mask, where the truth don’t sleep,

Underneath, where the shadows creep.

Painted smiles, but the pain runs deep,

Behind the mask, my soul I keep.
