awaiting unseen
the shadows I live in
the perfect camouflage
putting my mind at ease
no one can see me
but I sit there
observing
there but not
shifting in the silence
the silence that is unbearable
the smile on my face
a mask
my true feelings hidden
hidden in plain sight
looked over
unwilling to be understood
the silence I thrive in
the shadows a perfect blanket
to stay hidden
stay unseen
afraid to be seen
for the unknown
for things to change
suffering in silence
no flower blooms in the darkness
at some point it must see the light
it craves it
too much and it will die
too little and the same will happen
touchy things flowers are
but when they finally bloom
beautiful
shadows hiding its beauty
darkness hiding its light
