Conceal

Source: We Heart It

That word …

Conceal

We all do it every day

We do it consciously

We do it unconsciously

But …

We hide the bits and pieces

of our lives

parts of…

who we are

who we are NOT

Until we no longer have

any idea who we really are

 

In this hiding lies begin

and…

we forget who we told what

who knows what about us

what promises we made

and…

what promises were broken

 

In Concealing our life

we lose ourselves…

we lose our identity…

we lose our souls…

we lose everything…

we live in pain and confusion

of our own creation

 

Come into the light

into the truth

stop hiding from yourself

stop hiding from others

be free …

Masks …

Source: We Heart It

Masks…

We all wear them

Some hide more than others

 

Some give a true glimpse

of the person wearing it

Others totally obscure and

create a different persona

 

No one really sees anything

They all want to be…

To project…

Something they are NOT

 

Yet…

 

Each mask…

Each wearer…

Has a crack that lets

their soul seep through

 

Am I the only one

who has the Mask that

lets me

Really SEE…

Morning Mist

Source: We Heart It

Wandering through the

morning mist my tears

mingle with moisture

in the air

 

Crying…

both of us…

Me and

Nature

 

There is comfort

in the hiding…

release hidden by 

the mist 

allowing me…

allowing my heart…

allowing my soul…

time to reflect

And…

Begin to Heal

Hiding…

Source: We Heart It

Hiding in plain sight

not a spy…

But…

out of her own time

her own place

 

Desperate to return

Survival at

all costs…

all the time…

 

Until then…

She hides in plain sight

Knowing things she

should not know

Lurking

Source: We Heart It

We all see you there

Hiding in the shadows

Lurking…

Sinister…

Foreboding…

 

Not wanting to be

Seen…

Yet…

Not able to leave

 

So…

 

We ignore you

And…

Leave you there alone

in your shadows

Not acknowledging

your Presence…

Who Are You?

Image: We Heart It

You are not

who or what

you seem

 

You are…

Someone hiding

behind an assumed

name and created

persona

 

Quite by accident

I discovered

Your secret

 

Not as careful as

you thought…

careless mistakes

 

I know…

Yet –

You don’t know

I know

 

Allowing you to

dig deeper and

deeper into the

lie that is your

Life

Hiding

Image: We Heart It

Near the beginning…

I was cautious

You were persistent

 

Near the beginning…

I wanted to take things slow

You were insistent

 

Near the beginning…

I was curious

You were curious as well

 

Near the beginning…

I held back

And

So did you

Charade

Image: We Heart It

You hide behind

yet another

facade

 

Why can’t you

be who you are

rather than trying

to be someone you

will never be

 

Try as you might…

little things give

you away

A slip up here…

A nuance there…

The mention of a

favorite singer

and song

 

These little things

all give you away

to those who are

aware…

know…

 

You really do not…

cannot…

fool who are aware

of the tricks of

your trade

Glass Inside

Image: We Heart It

Her smile hid things

no one could ever

Imagine

The outward shell gave

away nothing

A true Southern beauty

Perfect in every way

She smiles…

Every day and hides

The shards inside

cutting her heart

to ribbons with

Every breath she takes
