Hiding away a bear waiting for springtime. A frightened songbird not brave enough to sing the words. Pushing it aside a broom sweeping feelings under a woven rug of emotion. Crying inside, smiling on the outside. I fool everybody, even myself. I'm strong as a bear, but I'm really a frightened little songbird. I want to sing! Loud, sweet, and clear! So much to say. I've so much to say. I'm a poet on the inside. Everything I see makes me curious. The look on a strangers face makes me wonder what kind of day they're having. Something always stirs inside me. I feel this urgency, this hungry need to feed anyone willing to listen. But I'm hiding away. Waiting hurting needing words won't come. Then the bear in me awakens, I have to conquer. Spread your wings, little songbird.
