One Poem May Hide Another

People know things
That other people
Don’t. They don’t
Talk about the
Idea, they only
Know it.

People call this
A secret. A secret
Hides itself
In another
Thought. It does
This to make

Sure that people
Who want to
Know can’t find
Out what it is.
Secrets sometimes
Are dangerous,

But most of
The time they
Don’t matter
Because no one
Knows about them.

Everyone sees you from
the way you look.
The way you talk,
the way you dress.
It’s just the superstition.

You see that girl that
you call “popular,” she
doesn’t have any friends.

You see that girl that
you call “fat” she starves
herself.

its cover.

I see the spider
it thinks it is
hiding
I am a fly
I see
the
hiding
spider
It is not hidden

But I am so
consumed with
looking at the
spider I
get caught
in the web

It now occurs
to me maybe
the spider was
not hiding
but the web
was

This is what
I feel life is
like it
hides

My head hides my brain,
I cannot think,
I was blank before writing this,
so now I can wink,
I now cannot write,
I just want to bite,
into the food that is just right,
so now I can think, to fight the fight,
because my head,
always hides my brain…

I’m hurt somewhere
it hurts a lot but
maybe I think it hurts
less if I hurt myself
even more.

So I do
but why do I still
because I now have
something with more
pain.

After that pain
I have another one
because of the one
I wanted to hide.

Shadows.
Think about them.
You think that they
just follow you around.
But they don’t.

They hide.

They hide on walls.
They hide on poles.
They even hide on other
shadows.

They’re very shy very afraid
they do not want to be seen.
The shadow follows you but when
you turn around

they’re gone.

Shadows are hidden.

You’re at the store
looking for shoes
you see a shoe you
like but you can’t see
the other. You get a little
closer and you still can’t
see it. You ask the
sales person to see if the
shoe is anywhere. She
checks to see if it’s there
and then it’s there. And
she says you are crazy.
Then you leave the store.

One bracelet may hide another.
It might. If I wear 2
bracelets 1 bracelet may hide a
bracelet. Everything might hide everything.
Bracelets will hide different kinds
of bracelets. All kinds of pretty beaded
bracelets hide other bracelets. It will
also be the prettier bracelets.

Everyone always will hide.
It’s something that people decide.
The one thing to do
is keep all to you,
and it’s called a secret beside.

One person hides another. One shines
and the other clouds up. One person
takes the spotlight when the other
is dark and like the wind on a
hot day. You don’t see it but you
feel a little breeze. One is
shining brighter than the other and
the other drowns. Man I wish I
would be seen but out of
nowhere the other person starts
to shine.

So one day I went outside
with my parents.
In India in a park
there was a
man, he is just
looking like a statue
but he is a
real person and he
is not moving for second
too.

Hide hide you put stuff
on the side. But it can’t
hide forever. Cause when
the cat’s out of the
bag you are too.

During Summer
the blooming
flowers glow and
gleam in the
sunlight. Slowly
Fall rolls in
fading away the
beautiful flowers’
gleaming glow!
Soon they are
covered in
leaves. Next comes
Winter and
her icy blast
taking every
single flower
with the blowing
wind and snow
not to be seen
for a while!
Then, Spring
comes again
bringing back the
hidden flowers for
the Process to start again.

Let’s play hide & seek
where you hide
and try to find

you hide I seek
you have to hide
go hide abide

Diving deep
into you heart
you find a bounty of treasures
some small and sad
some large and warm
but they are you
your mind
your thoughts
your feelings
you

They are hidden
by your heart
so no one owns them
you keep them locked
inside deep down
where only you
can feel them
just you
you

When you look at a person,
You cannot tell what is hidden inside.
Thousands, maybe even millions of hidden feelings.
The person may look very happy,
But hidden inside they are very angry.
Feelings will not always be shown on the outside.
You can’t always tell someone’s real feelings
Based on their face.
A person may look very dark and mean in the face
But really they are kind and bright.
Feelings, feelings, the number 1 thing kept hidden.

When something is hidden
who knows where it is. It is some-
where but when you find it ti might
disappear, it will be gone forever.

My violin is hidden like a lost
kitten, but I will never look
for it because it’s hidden in
my armpit.

I look I look but I
just can’t see without my
glasses that are hidden in dust
I will never see.

A leaf may hide a lady bug,
for a door might hide a
surprise party behind the
door.

A leaf may hide a lady
bug, for some whiteout
may hide a pen mark.

A leaf may hide a lady
bug, for some paint may
hide a scratch.

A leaf may hide a
lady bug, for a good
person may hide the
devil.

A leaf may hide a
lady bug…

until it flies
away.
