What if I shared what I never show?
Disturbing thoughts hidden in shadow
What if I finally allowed you to see
The darkest pieces of me?
You know the quirky, awkward, happy, and shy
But I hide the twisted and you never pry
I would be feared if I shared it with a single soul
So, it remains, separate from the whole
Depression, anger, fear, those parts you know
But this twisted darkness remains in shadow
I wish it would evaporate into the air
No longer living inside, no longer hiding there
Yet, it remains firmly in place
Locked away in a dark space
I carry this burden on my own
The spark of evil, keeping my spirit alone
There is no place for love with this in the shadow
There is no light in which it can grow
I walk through life, hiding my deepest shame
It's so frightening, it has no name
So in the depth, this piece of me will stay
Unknown, it can never chase you away.

I grew up in a small town in Oregon. In 2nd grade (circa 1984), I was entered into a poetry contest. I won 3rd place and was awarded a small check and a certificate signed by President George Bush Sr. I have been writing ever since.
