Persona

Persona, a mask we wear, a painted facade, Protecting the heart, a secret, a code. Painful truths concealed, a silent plea, Playing a role, for all to see. Profoundly, we craft a persona, a shield, Protecting the soul, a truth concealed. Power, a tool, to shape the image, Painting a story, a fabricated image. Passionate, the mask, a fragile facade, Playing a role, a charade, a charade. Promise, a whisper, a hope concealed, Persona, a prison, a story revealed. Perceptions, a prism, a distorted view, Painting a picture, a persona true. Pain, a constant, a shadow, a weight, Persona, a burden, a soul's lament. Presence, a mask, a silent plea, Persona, a prison, a reality. Peace, a whisper, a longing, a dream, Playing a role, a Paddy’s persona.
