Done With Hiding

Huddled in the corner

Staring up at the strange new faces

Each different from the last

Hiding all emotion

As though showing them

Will hurt

But I see through this

And I know

That this 

Isn’t the

Real you

That you are hiding

That you are afraid

Even though 

You don’t need to be

Thinking you must be

Void of all emotion

Thinking that this is an okay way to live

Even though it is not.

But one day,

You decide 

To stop with the act

To finally decide

To be yourself

Finally decide to stop hiding

And spread your wings

You’ve decided to show the world

What you’re really like

To show your smarts

To show the real you

Because you are through with hiding
