In a labyrinth of doubts, she roams,
A fragile heart, a mind of stones.
Paranoia whispers in her ear,
Fanning flames of dread and fear.

Underneath her veil of talent bright,
Lies a soul afraid of the light.
Seeking validation, in every gaze,
In every word, in every craze.

Competing fiercely, yet never at ease,
Insecurity's grip, a relentless squeeze.
Forced to wear a mask, day and night,
Hiding behind a facade so tight.

Faking smiles, and niceties feigned,
In her own web...
