Hiding Poem by Meagan Loves Cody

I won't show my true emotions
All the bad ones at least
The pain, sorrow, agony
Is tucked deep down inside, beneath
Deeper then the soul can go
I hide my true self
Behind an image everyone knows so well
The happy-go-lucky me
Everyone not knowing
it’s just a fake disguise
I fool them each day and
As each day goes by
I collect my pain and sorrow
To store away
It soon begans to grow stronger
and I dread the day it all comes out
Letting every hurtful secret and memory all out
I’ve worked so hard to keep it down inside
If I ever let it escape into the world
Everyone will see my true identity
The real me
Then the world would feel my pain, my agony
My wrath of letting my emotions out
For I have spent all my life
Trying to conceal it from my family and friends
It can never be controlled
If it ever escapes
The box thats within my very soul
