Hiding
Umbrellas are used to keep rain away
Parasols keep away the Sun
You have something different
It does not block rain or sunshine
You use it to protect yourself
Keeping away the unending pain
Blocking your eyes from seeing the world
Stopping the world from seeing your tears
Hiding you away from pain and happiness
You do not want to see the way people love
You have made the choice you wanted
But until that shield lifts you will never live
It doesn’t matter what people tell you
You will just have to exist with you
And never be the person you could be
