Why Hide


Trying so hard to climb the walls that have been built , Only to fall down before ever even have tried. Just looking for a chink in the armor, But it is greeted with a smooth and flawless canvas That is until the road is traveled down upon that its noticed . . . A ripple in the wall, that only the faintest of reflections would show. Hidden so deep no one would find it, yet someone did. And that caused a great worry. That someone could finally expose the true depths of a soul, Leaving it more raw, vulnerable and damaged then it already was.

I wrote this poem for a boy I know. A boy so damaged he says he cannot be saved, but I think that everything that is broken can be fixed. I will try to fix him, even it takes me forever.
