I don’t see you, locked away so tightly,
Behind the bolts and bars of steel bindings,
That you hide behind being scared nightly,
Deep within the solid skin of buildings.

I don’t hear you, the radio’s silent
Quiet you listen to other’s foot falls,
Solitary style your life is thus spent,
Sealed safely behind those protecting walls.

I don’t know you, because you never go,
At least not when I’m here able to see,
Could you be someone I would like to know,
But while protected it will never be.

So never met and never known we stay
You hiding from the night and me the day.

Gloom

Ah Professor, this is indeed a lovely write. Funny the way people hide themselves  behind walls either figuratively or literally. I guess everyone is guilty of this to some degree or another

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Well written. I agree we all are hiding from something........
Heather (CherokeeGirl)

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

Thank you, Tracey,
I must admit I am one of those people,
That hide from the world, in the shadows.
Pleased that you liked.

Thank you, Heather Miller,
I am glad the form pleased you.

Thank you, Zinsser,
Fear is just one of the things that stop people,
Another is neglect of recognition.
