My Hiding Place
I thought I was smart to tell you,
to show you my ways.
My inner thinking,
my heart.
Yet you didn't fully understand me,
and I knew it.
I tried to move past it,
knowing you knew my secret place.
Where I write and dare
dream of the things I desire.
I tried to mask myself again,
removing myself from your presence.
To vent openly and freely,
to be honest again.
I hid myself for reasons,
not just to hide things from you.
To prevent you from being hurt,
from the words I write.
Still you sought me out,
still you wanted to see my thoughts.
Where can I go?
How can I write where you can see?
How can I remain hidden?
I need a new hiding place.
