Hidden Poem by Amanda Bristow

Kept in secret,
One entity,
Witheld from vision,
Witheld from discussion,
Afraid to show my true colors,

Something very hidden,
Something kept in the dark,
If given the opportunity,
It could be the best thing for me,
It could be a great mistake,

By keeping it contained,
There is NO possibility,
Of being ridiculed,
Rejected,
Or withdrawn,

I will Not shed a tear,
I am strong,
A fighter,
I am ME!
