In the masquerade of life they dance,
Donning masks of confidence, a trance,
Beneath the façade of fearless guise,
Lies a world of trembling sighs.
Eyes that sparkle with borrowed light,
Conceal the shadows of the night,
Smiles painted in shades of grace,
Veil the fear they cannot face.
In the ballroom of secrets untold,
Each heart a story, a tale to unfold,
Hiding vulnerability behind a guise,
Braving the storm with brave disguise.
Yet in the silence of the soul's deep well,
Truth whispers softly, breaking the spell,
For in embracing our fears with gentle care,
We find true strength in being bare.
