Cocoon

I want to hide in my little space Where no one can see my many fears Where no one can read my real story Where no one can touch my pain I want to just hide, like I used too Numb and dumb, like they used to see Numb and tied in my own shackles That brought me joy and escape Alone and lone in my own world That gave me peace that no human could Because sometimes flying never took me anywhere

Hiding is one of the solutions, but certainly not the best. Anyway, a well-woven piece. 7+

OH Sweetie!! How I can relate to this write. You've written this so well...with such depth of feeling. When we fly...we risk broken wings. I hope this feeling passes, beautiful! Keep writing. Hugs
