Hide

by Scarlet Angel   Apr 20, 2008


She walks this lonely street
Tears r running down her face
She wonders if it'll be k
And she hides

Behind a smile
Behind a lie
Behind a faded book of refuge where she tries
To find a way to break the pain

He walks this broken road
With fists formed at his sides
He wonders if he'll make it through today
And he hides

Behind the music
Behind the game
Behind the trophies that will never mean a thing and he tries
To find a way through all the questions of his time

Hiding comes
Before humanity fades
And numbness takes it's place
Before they crave a blade
Before it's NOT OK!!!!!
hiding comes

And they hide
Behind a tune
Behind straight A's
And honor roll
Behind ballet
And soccer games
Behind a smile
And a laugh
Behind it all...
...They hide...

    Another beautiful poem, i love how you bring the two together at the end, and it was an excellent choice to use caps and exclamation points after the NOT OKAY part because this whole poem is screaming I'm not okay!!! Beautifully written, 5/5
