Hidden
I hide in my room,
So dark and depressing to you.
But it is my sanctuary.
My only place of solitude.
The only place where I can be at peace.
That is why I sit here now.
Alone and in the dark.
To be protected from the likes of you.
If I never come out,
Then you can never have the chance to break my heart.
In my room,
With the lights off,
All I see is the glow of the street lamps outside.
All I here is the faint passing of cars.
All I feel is my heart pounding in my chest.
All I crave is to be alone.
To be at peace.
Is this my only option?
To hide from the world?
Like a scared child?
I’ve tried being brave and facing it.
Only to be smacked down,
To be told I’m not worthy.
To be used and hurt,
And treated like dirt.
Why would you hurt me?
When I’ve done nothing to you.
Why do you continue to treat me the way you do?
Why do you cause me to run and hide?
Afraid to show myself to the world.
All I want to do is lock myself away.
Never to come out again.
Maybe I was better of in the hospital.
At least in there,
I was safe from you.
