Hidden in Plain Sight. . .

This is what nobody sees

Nobody sees this

Because it's too painful

Too ugly

Too flawed to show

So I hide

I wait until

Nighttime

Nobody can see

In the dark

And it always

Comes back to me

It can never hurt me

Because I can make

It light again

The darkness

That's inside

That Consumes me

Doesn't know

Doesn't care

About what I'm doing

As long as I'm quiet

And don't disrupt it

It won't tell about

What nobody sees
