Hiding Deep

" What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside you. "

Come out, Come out

Who ever you are

A gifted creature

Who's face that folds 

When the whistle blows

Won't you step out

And show me your eyes

I feel the presence growing within

Afraid you are so you hide

Far, Far away

In a skin pitched tent

With lights gone out, but

Audio replaying

Subtle whispers to piercing alarms

Your where bouts are masked

Deluding actions of seekers

Love giving animals with support

Your cries go silent, unheard 

Simply lower the bridge

So all can exist

Quit icing your trail of existence 

So all that pass will fall

Never to be found but left alone

To wollow in doubt and shame

The mysteries are discovered 

I know who you are, so

Can't you hear me knocking ?

So much truth in this piece...who hasn't hidden? Many of us still do...great work

I like this poem so much. We all hide to a degree, men maybe more than women. But you are right. Staying locked tight inside our skin tents will only increase the pain. Hopefully, everyone has someone who will listen. Great job.

Hidden inside us all are the answers that we seek but they are so elusive. I like your first statements within the first line. I think they say a lot. 'Afraid you are so you hide' (weird statement) Good poem.
