Your Hiding Place

Where are you when you start to wander off?
Away from us.
away from everything that we call reality.
Your reality may be different but it may be that you are just misinterpreted by people that don't understand you.
They may say you're weird or different but to me you are nothing more but an amazing child.
You are not shy.
You are brave.
you love to talk to people.
you love to do everything that I don't.
You represent everything that I am not.
You are my opposite but that just makes me love you more.
When people say mean things about you it hurts me because you are defenseless.
you are but a flightless bird who has no worry the world and has no way to defend itself.
but I am there I will be your guardian.
I will be everything you want me to be because that's who I am.
I don't like to see your tears, your tears make me sad. They make me feel as if I've done something wrong. when I see you angry I just feel frustrated because I know how exasperated you get because no one understands what you are going through.
no one understands what you want or what you're trying to say.
If only the others would see what your true pains felt like maybe then they wouldn't be so judgmental.
Your hiding-place - the Mind- forever keep it pure. For every keep it safe.
Don't let anyone ruin the world that you have created.
