Hidden

A Poem by Theo Ratcliffe

Move away.


Move far,

Far Away.


To a town,

Where no one knows your face.


To a school,

Where no one knows your name.


Make friends with the

“Cool kids”


Ignore,

The friends you really want.


Have them,

Exclude you.


Let the insecurity grow.


Lock yourself behind your door,

Let tears fall at your feet.


Don’t speak unless spoken to.


Wear your “happy” face.
