Hidden

Behind your fake smile There is hidden A wall of silence and denial That blocks the hurt Which you feel is forbidden If those walls break Your secrets will be seen Open to the world You won't know how to feel Should you feel shame Or would you be proud If everyone sees what is real How will they act You've been Hidden for so long You really don't know Even you forgot yourself Who you hid so long ago

A subtle sense of depression accompanied by a ting of apprehension seeps into your words and gives a downward spiral to your thoughts. Emile. #7

Excellent pen Matt! I really enjoyed reading your very thought provocative piece, dear friend. Wow that's a person so well hidden that hid even from he or herself. A 7 from me! Thanks again for your visit to my pages. Wishing you a lovely day! In his light! God bless you! :) D"
