Veiled

A woman conceals fear behind a façade, questioning others’ perceptions. Despite affection, she’s unsettled and seeks love’s true meaning amidst anxiety and inner turmoil.

A silhouette of a young woman sitting alone at night, her face hidden as she gazes into the distance. She sits on a wooden platform, surrounded by a softly lit, misty village under a starry sky. The scene is dark and contemplative, with the word "Veiled" written above her in white script.
She smiles, she nods, she plays along.

Deep down, there's creeping fright.

A paradox of thoughts wavers, she wonders.

Querying their graze, what do they see?

A hidden flaw or a charm of delight ?

Oceans of anxiety haunt her.

Their eyes weigh her every move.

Why does this feel like a heavenly hell?

When it is supposed to be blissful,

Is the mystery beneath refusing to unfold?

For every cheer, she remains untouched,

Disturbed, solicitous, lost in thoughts

Her breath held, she smiled nervously.

Though, their affection wraps her around.

She seeks herself through all the darkness.

A chalice of love, both void and full

To let their hearts pierce the wall of her.

Cheers
