In a world where we often conceal our true selves, ‘Behind the Mask’ invites readers to explore the intricate layers of identity and the roles we adopt in society. This sonnet reflects on the existential dance between authenticity and the facades we display, prompting us to question: who are we when the masks come off?
Whispers of the Heart
In twilight’s soft embrace, where shadows fade,
Two hearts entwine beneath the evening’s shade.
The stars emerge like diamonds in the sky,
A tapestry of dreams that drift on high.
With every gentle breeze, your laughter sings,
A melody that dances, on tender wings.
The moonlight bathes your features in its glow,
Illuminating paths where love can grow.
Hand in hand, we wander through this night,
Exploring every corner, lost in light.
Each moment wrapped in whispers, sweet and clear,
A symphony of feelings, drawing near.
As dawn approached, with colors bold and bright,
I find my heart is tethered to this sight.
In every sunrise, every morning’s breath,
Our love awakens, conquering all depth.
As we navigate through life, the roles we play shape our understanding of self. Yet, in the stillness of our hearts lies the essence of who we truly are, waiting to be revealed. Let this poem serve as a gentle reminder to embrace authenticity amidst societal expectations, and to reflect upon the beauty of being unapologetically ourselves.
