Concealing Herself

My first write-up for my college's Literary Society.

Masking herself in the shadows,

she doesn't want to be seen.

Streets and buildings all around,

stuck is she in between.

Everyday she lives with lies,

hiding those tears in her eyes.

She burns in the lingering truth,

with no one by her side to sooth.

A strict regime she has to follow,

so all inside her is not revealed.

She rushes around, head covered, eyes down,

but most of all concealed.

The world around her sniggered,

when it heard her heart's plea.

Only if she could tell them,

She is not what they see.
