Behind the Mask
In shadows deep, a stage unfolds,
Eyes reflecting stories untold.
Every step, a riddle to solve,
Each stare seeks what I withhold.
A storm inside, silence on my tongue,
No one hears the battles I've sung.
Outside, stars shine; inside, it’s dark,
Which mask will I wear? Which one is the spark?
Everyone’s a writer of tales,
But no one sees the face that pales.
Fighting whispers, drowning screams,
Chasing truth through fractured dreams.
Hey, who’s behind the mask you see?
A stranger, or the warrior in me?
Know my truth, the lie you face,
A ghost, a rebel, lost in space.
The streets are quiet, the city sleeps,
Wandering like a soul that weeps.
On every wall, an echo speaks,
Yet none of it’s the voice I seek.
Fierce as wind, deep as the sea,
Each breath’s a war to set me free.
Searching for refuge through the night,
But the truth always hides in plain sight.
Everyone seeks a hero's rise,
But no one sees the fall disguised.
Like a lone wolf howling to the moon,
I find my freedom in the gloom.
Hey, who’s behind the mask you see?
A stranger, or the warrior in me?
Know my truth, the lie you face,
A ghost, a rebel, lost in space.
A soul that dances with the flames,
A phoenix rising, shedding chains.
Every scar, a badge of pride,
Every fall, a step to climb.
If you dare to look inside,
Lift the mask, see where I hide.
Hey, who’s behind the mask you see?
A stranger, or the warrior in me?
Know my truth, the lie you face,
A ghost, a rebel, lost in space.
The shadows fade, the light deceives,
Every mask hides what it believes.
Behind it all, a human remains,
Yet none of us are ever the same…
