Behind a mask, she hides her face
A disguise to conceal her secret place
A heart that's broken, a soul that's worn
A life that's shattered, like a mirror torn

She changes her name, her voice, her stride
A new identity, to hide her inside
But in the silence, she still hears her heart
A whispered reminder, of her shattered part

In this new skin, she finds a fragile strength
A determination, to survive the length
Of days that blend, in a haze of pain
A life that's lived, in a mask's disguise and stain

In these quiet moments, she's free to be
A glimpse of her true self, wild and carefree
But dawn's light creeps, and the mask is back
A shield to protect, her shattered heart's attack

She'll wear the mask, through the day's loud din
And hide her heart, until the silence creeps in
For in the stillness, she finds a fragile peace
A solace that soothes, her heart's deep release.
