dear moon,
today mom
walked into
my room and
said ' you're
hiding again '
while i laid
in bed letting
the covers swallow
me whole
i couldn't look
at her because
i didn't want
her to see the
truth leak from
my eyes
instead i told
her to leave
me alone and
that i'm
perfectly fine
i heard her
sigh as well
and say ' i
just want to
make sure
you're alright '
and gently close
the door behind her
and as soon
as the door closed
i kind of regretted it
but how can i let
her know that
the only reason
i've been hiding
is so she can't
witness the
little girl i
use to be
die in front
of her
