My Poems [Completed]

Hide

There is always a reason behind each of these poems.

-------<>-------

Ridiculed for being different

Called a wannabe for trying to be the same

If I can't win this

No one can play this game.

My mind whispers, "Flight! Flight!"

My heart whispers, "Fight! Fight!"

My body whispers, "Hide! Hide!"

And so I go with my body.

Gone am I from this world

So far, at least

Away from the monsters

Away from the beast.

Hide away permanently

So I don't have to be

Afraid to be me

And never letting go.

Our society is so fucked up

Telling us to be ourselves

Then telling us, "That's bad."

It's like judging a book then putting it back on its shelf.

Hiding like a book in its cover

Hugging pages like they are its lover

Watching like a hawk hovers

Over its helpless, unknowing prey.

People self harm left and right

And society doesn't care

Until they die and go six feet under

And then they pretend and go away.

Hide my arms

From the sight of my harms

Because it's not the "norm"

Of the school to have scars.

So when I finally do die

Will society act like they care?

Will the preps pretend to know me so they can be center stage?

Will a be missed as someone's potential pair?

Hiding away from the views

Of so many people, of their many different thoughts

All pulled together in one place

In a room so hot.
