Poem: Hiding in Plain Sight

I hide

in plain sight

Pitch black

empty eyes

shielded “Bye”

a smiling mask

My disguise

My fake laugh

I’m not quite

who I am

It’s where I

go to act

like I haven’t cried

and behind my back

isn’t a knife

covered in fresh blood

coz I’m a nice guy

in your friendly neighborhood

But if you were

in my mind, you’d see

layers of hurt

malicious crime scenes

And beneath the dirt

the real me

The only me

I’ll ever let you see

I hide

in plain sight

Pitch black

hollow eyes

shielded by

a smiling mask

my disguise

my fake laugh

I’m not quite

who you think I am
