Puisi Dianti: Fake Happiness

Behind the veil she wears, a facade of bliss,

A woman in a headscarf, pretending happiness, I cannot dismiss.

She showcases her life on social media, a picture-perfect guise,

Yet beneath the charade, her actions unveil a different guise.

In her carefully crafted posts, she paints a joyful scene,

But behind closed doors, her intentions are not what they seem.

With a coy demeanor, she flirts and teases,

Leaving me unsettled, my emotions caught in a whirlwind of unease.

Her hijab symbolizes modesty and grace,

Yet her behavior contradicts, causing my heart to race.

I'm torn between understanding and frustration,

As her pretense of happiness fuels my inner contemplation.

But amidst this storm of jealousy and doubt,

I choose to rise above and take the higher route.

For I know that true happiness lies in authenticity,

Not in superficial displays or empty frivolity.
