In the quiet corners of the bustling street,
A silent shield veils the stories untold,
Behind the fabric, where whispers retreat,
Lie dreams and fears that silently unfold.

Eyes speak volumes, with words left unsaid,
Expressions hidden, yet emotions are clear,
In a world where faces are gently misled,
The mask becomes both armor and veneer.

Yet beneath the layers, a vibrant heart reigns,
Each soul unique, with tales of their own,
A tapestry woven from joys and pains,
In the mask’s embrace, we are never alone.

As seasons change, and time moves along,
We learn to see beyond the disguise,
For in every masked face, a story belongs,
A testament of strength in a world so wise.
