Sometimes I am good at hiding what I’m feeling
Other times you know exactly what is going on
There are times when I want to come out of hiding
There are others that I want to go away
On the outside things can look like they are fine
On the outside things can be covered up
On the inside things can be so much different
On the inside things can be masked
On the outside people can try to hide the pain they feel
On the outside people can try to conceal the hurt deep down inside
Inside they could be dying, inside they could be mourning
Inside they could be facing a fierce battle, and they don’t want others to know
Sometimes we hide when we feel that we are weak
Sometimes we hide when we feel we will be judged
Sometimes we hide when we feel we could never measure up
Sometimes we hide when we feel we try to protect ourselves
