Njeri Hunjeri Poet Verse

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

Anna Hopper April 7, 2015 at 9:07 AM This is a little sad, but I can relate. Lovely poem! Njeri Hunjeri April 9, 2015 at 5:04 AM Thank you Anna

Hannington Mumo April 7, 2015 at 5:34 AM Hiding is one of the solutions, but certainly not the best. Anyway, a well-woven piece. 7+ Njeri Hunjeri April 9, 2015 at 5:03 AM Thank you Mumo

Eileen Manassian April 7, 2015 at 5:12 AM 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 Njeri Hunjeri April 9, 2015 at 5:02 AM It passed. Thank you Jade:-)
