Your Other Side Poem by Dorsey Baker

Your nakedness
exposes you
and you are afraid
to show it
you have weaknesses
you want to hide
and you know it
You are not ready
for the future
you'd rather dig up the past
you cannot keep up with the clock
because it ticks much too fast
You'd rather hide
behind the darkness
than face the light
It seems so easy
to cover up the truth
with a blanket of lies
When you look into the mirror
you see
Someone that you are trying to hide
because you are so afraid
of letting them see
your other side!
