Hiding

I miss you.

The one you’re hiding,

The one you’re afraid of

Because of your:

Power

Beauty

Strength

Knowing and

Loving

 

It’s like if you have it all

You can’t show it all

You can’t flaunt it . . . Remember that

Remember that Summer,

“ Oh it’s so hard to be pretty!”

 

That’s so subjective anyway

And yet again it shouldn’t matter but . . .

If you are capsizing naturally and lowering yourself to become decent,

You still have to prove you’re capable

 

Which I did

 

But then there are the looks

Like “Who does she think she is”

“She’s wrong”

“Really? What a fake.”

 

Leave me alone . . . please . . .

Just let me be.

Accept it.
