Windows

Inspired by Johari's Windows

You know and others know
Everyone enjoys your story
You see your eyes even your glow
All know your sadness and glory

You know but others do not
Questions arise in their minds
They cannot find your hidden spot
Expect nothing from the blinds

You do not know but others know
Your eyes now cannot see
They got everything you show
In this world you are not free

You do not know and others do not
This is a world of the masks
Look and hear, connect the dots
We live to do our tasks

Which window would I want
To stay and look for a while
No eyes and lips that taunt
But at least a genuine smile.

The coronavirus made the world worst. Less human contact.
"You do not know and others do not
This is a world of the masks
Look and hear, connect the dots
We live to do our tasks"
The above lines, the new world and for the world to know peace. We must befriend the people near. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

everyone is wearing real masks these days, but yours are metaphoric masks. they hide us from others, the real us...but they also tend to hide us from ourselves because we wear so many. and yet the eyes are the ones that portray our sadness, our truths...they are the windows...the very clear windows into our hearts and souls...
