Behind The Veil
Behind The Veil


I saw her standing in front of me
Someone who has been hidden for ages as could be.
Scared and shy to face the world.
Whatever she went through
Never uttered a word.
I still hear her laugh on the simplest of things
Always happy with what life would give.
There she would be sitting quiet
With no complains
Hiding all her sorrow and all her pain.
Never ever did she step out all alone
She needed a hand to bring her back home.
People, places would make her feel strange
Never would she try to confront at any stage.
I still remember her hide
Shiver, feel scared
Never open up and never ever confide.
Today she is there within me
My alter ego more bold, fearless yet sympathetic to all and sundry.
