Hide Out

by

No, I won’t come down

I think I will stay here,
in the privacy of my place.

My room,
with all the emotions I have upon the walls,

the angry tears upon the floor.
I think I’ll stay here

and hide out for a while,
where no one can endanger

my dainty emotional tissue
with the bullshit I keep hearing out there.

I think I will stay right here,

wasting my time with
books, movies, the Internet

and all of its lies.
If you (anybody) want to see me,

call me,
email me;

don’t breach my safe place.
When I want to,

or when hunger drops me to the floor,
I will come out and

face reality again.
Until then, I’ll just hide out here.

NEXT?
