The poem begins with the line \"Lady Time, you are a thief,\" and goes on to describe how time can steal our youth, our beauty, and our innocence. However, it also acknowledges that time can be a source of strength and resilience, and that we can use it to grow and learn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilences by Michaela Vitagliano is a poem about the power of silence and the ways in which it can be both a blessing and a curse. The poem begins with the line \"Silence, you are a thief,\" and goes on to describe how silence can be a source of comfort and peace, but can also be a source of anxiety and fear. It also acknowledges that silence can be a tool for communication and that we can use it to connect with others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnmask Me by Denise Monroe is a poem about the process of self-discovery and the ways in which we can become more authentic and true to ourselves. The poem begins with the line \"Unmask me, I am ready,\" and goes on to describe the process of peeling away the layers of self-doubt and fear that we have accumulated over the years. It also acknowledges that self-discovery can be a painful and challenging process, but that it is ultimately worth it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, Unmasked Writings\/Historias desconfinadas is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of poems that explores the emotional angles of the pandemic and gives voice to the long moments of introspection we all cultivated during the hardest months of this crisis.
