Write a poem based on the theme of anonymity.
The Mask
In shadows where no names are known,
A silent figure walks alone.
No gaze to meet, no past to tell,
A ghost beneath a fragile shell.
A whisper lost within the crowd,
A face unmarked, a head unbowed.
No tethered ties, no binding claim,
No story shaped by given name.
Freedom wears this hidden face,
A drifting soul in endless space.
No judgment cast, no heavy frame—
No weight of praise, no bite of shame.
Yet in this cloak of unseen grace,
A longing stirs for warm embrace.
To be unknown is safe, it’s true—
But sometimes, we crave being you.
I love this so much. Your writing is amazing!
The rhyming made it so scrumptious
