You Hide

You hide behind a screen

But paint your world with words; you are talented – I’ve read your work

 

You present such strength and power

But only with your words; you are strength – your words prove it

 

You have so much behind your eyes

But you don’t share it with anyone; you are beautiful – photos don’t lie

 

You hide behind a screen

Are you afraid, if so, of what; you are brave – your experience demonstrates it

 

You present us only your words

But you only go so far; you are giving – your time is your gift

 

You have to cross over from the door

But you stand behind the rest; you are open – I’ve heard you share

 

You hide behind a screen

But you never venture out; you are adventurous – pictures don’t lie

 

You present so much hope and wonder

But only with your words; you are creative – I’ve seen your work

 

You have always held back

But you can be so much more; you are hopeful – your yearnings are real

 

You hide behind a screen

Answers never to be found

Worlds never to be explored

Friends never to make

Love never to find

 

You hide behind a screen; the world is waiting
