EN: Every day, we put on masks.
Some to protect ourselves,
Some to hide our pain,
And some to show the world
what it expects to see.
Behind the smiles may lie silent battles,
Behind the strength, unspoken fears,
And behind the calm, a storm
waiting to be heard.
We wear masks not because we are false,
But because the world is not always ready
To see us in our truest form.
Yet, the soul longs for spaces
Where masks are not needed,
Where hearts can be bare,
And where truth can finally breathe. 🌬️
SW: Kila siku tunavaa barakoa.
Wengine kuzivaa kujilinda,
Wengine kuficha maumivu,
Na wengine kuonyesha ulimwengu
kile ambacho unatarajia kuona.
Nyuma ya tabasamu kuna vita visivyoonekana,
Nyuma ya nguvu, kuna hofu zisizosemwa,
Na nyuma ya utulivu, kuna dhoruba
inayongoja kusikika.
Hatuvai barakoa kwa kuwa sisi ni waongo,
Bali kwa sababu dunia haiko tayari daima
Kuona sura yetu ya kweli.
Lakini roho inatamani mahali
Ambapo barakoa hazihitajiki,
Ambapo mioyo inaweza kuwa wazi,
Na ukweli upumue kwa uhuru. 🌬️
