I hide me
From the world
Protect myself
Within an amniotic sac
Like a babe in the
womb
My heart in a cocoon
Free from harm
Wrapped in cotton wool
Safe, secure,
Out of sight, out of
mind
I hide me
The best of me
Protected from
Deceitful hearts
And transient desires
The Schemers, dreamers,
And false redeemers
The superficial and
the shallow
The morally hollow
Those that would hurt
me
Use me and abuse me
All these and more
I hide me
The essential me
Keep me hidden
From the bitterness
and bile
Of the vindictive and
the vile
Free from recrimination
And spiteful
retribution
Heart locked safely
away
Never to see the light
of day
