Hide
Too many people in this generation are hiding.
Hiding bruises with our jeans,
Hiding scars with our long sleeves
and sweaters,
even in the summer.
Hiding the demons in our mind
with our hoods.
And hiding all the pain in our eyes
with sunglasses.
But what happens when the sunglasses
and the hoods
and the sweaters
and the jeans
Just can’t contain all that pain?
We add on to the reason why
we were hiding in the first place.
2 more bruises
12 more scars
65 more demons
and 100 times the pain.
But what would happen
If people stopped being so judgmental?
If they took out all their stereotypes
and put in a little more acceptance
and care.
Then we might not have a generation
of kids hiding from everything.
