Hidden

For all those who hide,

Who have a shield against the taunts of the world,

Who don't give their trust easily.

For all those who fear,

Who have put up a wall to protect themselves from those around them,

Who are uncertain and doubt themselves,

For all those who think they are not strong enough.

I say you are.

Believe you are.

Believe that you are strong enough,

That you are good enough for you.

Just for a moment take down your walls,

Just for a moment let go of your fear.

Just for a moment,

Just for once pour your heart out,

And the world will applaud you.

I say you are good enough,

Strong enough,

Believe you are,

Believe their taunts and jeers,

The things that torment you,

Believe that those things are not strong enough to keep you down.

Please take down your walls,

Please put aside your shields,

Be the best you,

What they think doesn't matter.

For all those who hide something,

I beg you, show it.

If it's all your soul,

Or just your inner thoughts,

Show it.

Someone, somewhere, wants to hear your story.

To all those who are araid,

Put aside your walls and your shields,

Put aside your fears,

They are needless!

Don't let them control you.

To all those who think they are worthless,

Who feel less,

Who feel insecure,

Who doubt,

To all those, hear me,

You are beautiful,

Amazing, just the way you are.

Any efforts to change you are in vain,

You are amazing.

I call out the Hidden,

I call them out to stay strong for just one more day.

I call them out to show themselves.

I call out the Hidden.

One day I said to myself that I wouldn't be afraid anymore, wouldn't doubt, wouldn't be angry, would let down my walls. I ask you to do the same. To everyday tell the world in no matter how small a voice:

"I won't be afraid anymore."

I call out the hidden.
