Why Hide?
Hidden
Hidden within
Hidden within myself
Hidden myself
I have a mask
A costume
That only comes off
With my friends
Close friends
Only they know
Of who I am
Of what I am
Of myself
I am a monster
A freak
I don’t exist
I was imagined
I’m not the only one
I know others
I hide
For I don’t want...
I want to be seen
I still hide
But sometimes...
Sometimes
I feel as if...
As if I don’t know myself
Who am I?
What am I?
Who are you?
What is anything?
The world
It doesn’t revolve around you
Me
Anyone
It’s all apart of
The big master plan
Stay in line
That’s how to survive
To stay alive
You must follow
Too sporadic
You’ll die
Physically?
Mentally?
Sometimes
Neither
It’s not a thing
You can just diagnose
It’s not something
Easy to find
You might never
Figure it out
My experience
Your’s
Earth’s
I hide
Earth follows
But still strays
Will you come out of hiding?
Become a shooting star?
Just push through
You can do it
I did it
Earth did it
