Cave Hideaway Poem by Tamara Turner

Have you ever felt so hurt that you didn't want anyone close to you know?
Because maybe you just felt too embarrassed and or needed to hide?
You needed to find a safe place to collect your thoughts and inner self.
The only thing that seemed to pull me out of that for a brief moment was when someone texted me.
Maybe an old friend in the middle of night to see if i was sleep.
Maybe a phone call from my mom the next following day to see how things were going.
That brief moment when i decide to go outside to check the mail.
Then i look around to see just how nice a day it is.
It amazes me how one moment I can feel as tall as an empire state building.
Untouchable like I have a invisible force field.
Then something happens and I can feel as low as the dirt that is on the earths surface.
Self loathing and worthless.
So i hide out in the cave hoping maybe i can out run this wave.
But this too shall pass until then i'll try my best to behave.
