Behind the Masks We Wear

Life unfolds in vibrant scenes, a kaleidoscope's delight,
But beneath the surface, emotions take flight.
Smiles that flicker, a facade so bright,
Hiding burdens unseen, in the fading light.

In the eyes of a stranger, a story untold,
A heart that might yearn, for a comfort to hold.
A laugh that rings hollow, a joy that's grown cold,
A silent plea for connection, a story yet to unfold.

With gentle steps I approach, a hesitant hand,
Not a demand for closeness, but a chance to understand.
A simple phrase offered, "I am here, if you need,"
A listening ear, a presence, a comforting seed.

Perhaps a hug is not asked for, a touch not desired,
But the warmth of connection, a need to be fired.
For in the quiet moments, where vulnerabilities meet,
A silent understanding, a solace so sweet.
