Hidden Desire Poem by Dan Uher

Kept in secret
Kept in one entity
Witheld from vision
Witheld from decisions
Afraid to show my true colors
Afraid to show my bothers
The transportation from mind to heart
Is always the hardest part

There is this emotion in my body
I don't want to show anybody
Something very hidden
Something kept not revealed
My desire is hidden
If lost I'd me unforgiven

If given the opportunity
It could be the best thing that happened to me
Or it could be the greatest mistake
That I could ever make
The hardship that goes on in my mind
Is truly one of a kind

By keeping this contained
And locked in my brain
I get rid of the possibility
Of being put down
Being rejected
And being withdrawn

This hidden desire is here
Not wanting to shed a tear
