Under The Covers

Under the covers I can hide away
Hide from words that hurt me
Faces that scowl in my direction
Under the covers I am left be

Under the covers I don't hear
Negativity pouring off the tongue
I don't need to try to defend
Anything I may have said or done

Under the covers I can hide my tears
The pillow can cradle my achey head
Under the covers I can compose myself
While all my insecurities are being fed

Under the covers it's protecting me
From the exhaustion that has set in
An arguments parting little gift
Some arguments you never can win

Under the covers I feel in a safe place
Where no one can get at me anymore
Under the covers is where I'll stay
Until harmful words I'm able to ignore

@misslittleDHP

Writing has been my friend since a teenager...I laugh, cry, think, pretend, smile as I do it. I feel that I communicate better through my writing as in person I can appear a tad scatty.

Glasses

Glasses, They disguise, The purple bags, Under my eyes. Glasses, If eyes are red, You don't see it, Just glasses instead. Glasses, Hide the tears, From your friends, And fellow peers.

I Ask For A Moment

(Another free write aided by the night). Just give me a day. One single day. That's all that I ask. Send it my way. Just give me a night. One peaceful sleep. That just may be. All that I need.

Failure

Dark Safe Familiar Retreat My bedroom; Bed Safe Secure Cocooned My own private womb. Regress Curl Foetal Warm Just like a child; Block Noise Hidden Sight Just for a little while.

Careful

Careful when you touch me. I would not want to hurt you so. It's not my intention to cause harm. Ragged edges is all I have to display. A poorly assembled state of emotion.

True Talk

How come I can't tell people I cry ?. And that I feel really sad sometimes ?. Why can't it be ok if I don't know why ?.

Thanks To The Strangers

To those who wear the biggest smile... Laugh the loudest Dance the longest Thank you for being ok Or pretending to be ok at least.

Settle down

If I was going to tell you a secret, would you tell not a soul. No matter how twisted, would you help me feel less distanced. Would you judge me but take my side.

Listen To Me

I hate that smile, the one I plaster on my face, the one that says I'm happy. The only thing that tells otherwise are my words. The words that honestly tell you I'm not okay.
