Hiding

In there

Somewhere

Not ready

To be faced

I’m living

Just fine

No need

To integrate 

I can’t deal

It’s too raw

High emotion

Low tolerance 

A part of me

I can’t look

Don’t wanna

Can’t be me

Hiding 

Behind memories

Pleasant times

Of right times

Of right things 

Parts 

Of my head

I haven’t 

Been in

(Thanks, David)

Parts heard

Worse, parts said

Tied to parts

I can’t accept

Not who I am

Nor want to be

Can’t stay

Hidden

Force it out

Face the sun

Address it

Move it along

Become 

The me

I want

To be

No more

Hiding
