Analysis of Behind the mask
Behind the mask
Behind the mask, is a beautiful maiden
wanting to be free from every burden
Trying to find the lost voice to speak the heart of the traumatised
which has been analyzed.
Behind the mask is a melanin
having the qualities of a feminine
Speaking the heart of the deaf
writing for all and the dumb to read
Speaking to the world through the pen that lead.
Behind the mask, is a plain hearted being;
Loving to see others well being
Whose abode and strength is in writing
Admiring the growth of individuals
working down the aisle with the pen.
Behind the mask, is she: whose voice is as low as whisper,
But glows like a moon in the night.
As a mask girl, her solace in writing is what she is ready to unveil,
She is ready to take her cross and accept the pains
To scale through the aisle of writing.
