Hide..Keep Safe...

In the mind…Dark thoughts lurking..
No shame…uninhibited…..
Careless..care free..nobody can see..nobody knows..
The desires…buried within..
The world must not know…

The Dark secrets…shame…
No one can know…
You hide behind masks…
Fortified within..nobody can come close..
If they see; they will judge, criticize…mock you….

The heart barricaded…
Feelings suppressed…can’t express…
Fear of rejection…exposure…vulnerability…
Protecting your being…your weaknesses…

Must keep up with the façade..
Charades…acting on your own stage..
Role playing…hiding who you are…
Keeping the distance ..aloofness….
Pretending not to care….very cold…
No one can come close…no one can touch…
A legion of personas...
The real you shielded….

The ruthlessness of heartbreaks…
The pain of disappointments…
The gut wrenching act of rejection…
The ridicule of the masses..
The frightening feeling of being exposed….

Must protect…
Must hide…must keep sanity…
Must stay away from the ridicule…
Must retreat back in the shadows…
Suppress the darkness of the thoughts in the mind…
Must keep safe….
The only way you know how…is to hide…
