Hidden Poem by deanna buendia

What would you do if you had to hide?

Away from the world in a dusty corner
Nobody knew you existed
Not a soul knew you were real

How would it feel?
You would be sad and alone
Bored and depressed
Lonely and unloved
How would you feel?

You will never come out
Not even to catch a glimpse of light
You will always have to hide in the dark


If you had to hide …
You’d still be alive but no one would know
No expectations or goals
Not a single dream to dream
And no star to wish upon

Only if you had to hide
