Short Poems

Hiding

Hiding

People do what they want to do
They say what they want to say
Act how they want to act
But it hurts sometimes

Do they think me blind?
To think that I don't see what they do
Hear what they say
Or feel the inconspicuous blows they hit me with

I can sense their actions
I know their lies
But yet I hide what I know
Just because of fear

I think one of my favorite quotes
By one of my favorite artists
Is really applicable right now
It's amazing what you can hide
By putting on a smile, you know?

But the truth is that I hide
The true things I feel
I hide the thoughts that makes me who I am
I hide behind an oblivious and easily hurt girl

But when the times I'm alone
During those that I really reflect
I shed tears that don't deserve to be shed
And let my aware self come out to play

It's times like this that I wish
I wish things can change
That I be able to go back
And fix what's been broken

That I be able to undo
The mistakes that lead to this
That lead to a shell
An empty shell that used to be me

I just wish that I could be true
Truly oblivious and happy
To be innocent and free
And finally, to get out of hiding

The happiest people can be the loneliest ones...
It's something that came to me just now. Don't worry though. It's nothing.
