Writing Prompt

I’m infinitely curious but equally breakable

Too soft to bury a truth unmistakable

So I search for the truth but then swaddle a lie

Why stare into hell when you could hide in the sky?

My faith is a phone I dropped down the gutter

When clarity honks my exhaust pipes sputter

Burrowing as deep in the sand as the buildings are tall

Seeing everything demands feeling nothing at all

So I plead wi...

We all have a place in mind

Where we go when we need to hide

When the world is crashing around us

It keeps us safe and soooths our fears

It’s our one true hiding place...

Drinking beer

While searching using Google Chrome

I am alone

Sitting and doing nothing

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, but being alone

when the world gets too loud

Where is your hiding place?

My hiding place is within myself, I create a safe place and go there when I need.

I go there when life gets too tough, I often sit and day dream of the things I want to see.

I go there when I am sad and imagine a peaceful, serene and secluded lake when all is quiet.

I throw rocks into the lake and watch as they skip across the waters.

I watch the ripples it cre...

When the day is ending and it’s getting dark outside

It’s back in my home where I will hide

To have some dinner and watch tv

That’s how most evenings look to me

Home can be your hiding place

Where there is no one you need to face

Just relaxing alone

Or talking with a loved one on the phone

A hiding place where you can walk around in sweatpants

And have no obligations at hands

Just relax and c...

Deep within the valleys

Through the forest trees

Along the sandy beaches

Beside the gentle sea

Between the lively festivals

Along the lightened streets

I can’t help but listen for

Your name whispered in the breeze

Running past the cottages

Trekking through the fields

Laying in the land of dandelions

Two of us hidden in the hills

In love in our own paradise

Counting stars in our own space

No one...

**Hiding Place**

There’s a hollow in the tall grass,

where the world forgets to look—

a bend between the daylight

and the shadowed edge of brook.

I slip into the silence,

where the willow’s branches lean,

and tuck myself in hidden roots

where all the green goes green.

The air is thick with quiet here,

a secret soft and still.

Even time is hushed, as if afraid

its ticking might spill.

Leaves wh...

When the world gets too loud

Too bright

Too sharp

Too much

There will always be somewhere that I go

I call it my hiding place

When mommy and daddy have had too much to drink

Or they start arguing

Yelling in each others' face

I creep upstairs

To my favorite spot

Yes, my hiding place

Cocooned under mounds of blankets and pillows

Shielding me from the world

It can't reach my favorite spot

Yes, my hid...
