I Must Hide Poem by Tyna Marie

My family they do not understand
What it is that makes me want you to be my man '
Of course I know that law will not approve
But to lose you would be an even dumber move
I need you here to guide me
To hold my troubled hand

You... I must hide

My family cannot know about what happens late at night
They cannot not know about this internal fight
They cannot know what it is that makes me fall apart
Thay will never know what can kill my heart

My fear... I must hide

My father will never see the hate behind my eyes
Everytime he turns to me and says those evil lies
He does not know what his alcohol affects
To the world these words i long to confess

Yet... I must hide
