in or out?

in or out?

A Poem by V M Smith

silent smiles still hiding pain
i'll drag you by the hand

show you my life, i'm hurt again
but i'm still not what you think i am

Open the closet and i sit down
"i'm hiding here, you understand?"

as i look down, you sit and say
"i'm hiding, too" and you kiss me.

I fully appreciate reviews, especially when they tear apart my work in an attempt to make it better. Rip, tea, break it down. Tell me how you do not like it, how to make it better. I want your opinion. Truly.

Hidden meanings, buried away, are always my favourite type of poems.

I really like this, and the ending of the poem is so sweet. It's like you're saying there is strength in numbers. No more hiding. Great job.
