Hide

All I want to do is hide.

Hide from the world.

 

I hide the true shape of my body in a large sweater.

I hide my face behind my hair.

I hide my legs with long pairs of jeans.

I hide my shoulders' scars with t shirts.

I want to help people,

But I run.

 

The only comfort I find

Is isolation

Silent as death.

 

I run to it in fear.

 

Just needing to hide.
