Hidden Poem by Christopher Soto

Sometimes I feel it’s best to hide away;
in shadow take cover.
Overly occupied with the idea that my presence is one which is most undesired,
I take this thought to justify my occlusion.

Though there is no reason to uphold this claim,
it remains at the forefront of my reasoning on the odd day.
On this thought, I refuse to make contact and talk to others,
On this thought, I conclude that it’s best to not add to their bothers.
