There is a woman
buried deep  in me  
She is so hard to find
She is so hard to see

Why she hides in there
i really don't  know
i just try to protect her
Where else can she go

She must like it  there
in the silence of the dark
wondering around aimlessly
oblivious and stark

Me, I know she is there
Doesn't really bother me
Can't figure out why she's there
though, but i just let her be

One day she'll come out
and see life all around
but for now i will just wait
until she is found

Lovely poem! I think the woman inside is very beautiful and somebody needs to tell her so! Why don't you let her know that she is wonderful and precious and that it is safe to come out and enjoy her own loveliness.  I did that for myself, and it was the best gift I ever gave myself! Ellie

I wonder how many of us have a hidden person inside.  My guess is, a lot of us do.  Ellie's right, give her a little love, and maybe she will come out and let the world see her real beauty. Very interesting reading here.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

She comes out  mostly in poetry otherwise  She is safer inside for now. She will know when it is ok to come out. Thank you all for your very kind words. It made me  cry.  Thank you for telling me about my typo Pegasus I hate when i do that.

Enjoyed the read, I know a woman such as her. Wonder what she will be like if and
when she emerges.

Suzanne~
Tenderly done.
Sometimes there is a delicate other in us -
that needs the shelter of hiding for a while.
I think it's like you said -
'she will know' ...
and when that time comes,she will emerge.

Pleasing to read.

This was beautiful, and I can truly relate to this as my life takes a new turn, and I am seeing the woman in me come out to look. Wonderful.
