Hiding

You're hiding from the world,
Hiding just like me.
Within the walls of a home,
We are destined to be.

As we search for love,
In places we aren't sure exist,
Hidden valleys and mountains,
Shrouded in a mist.

We hide behind blankets,
Not wanting to be seen.
Afraid they'll have an opinion,
And that it might be mean.

We are hiding behind friendship,
Knowing the alternative is much worse.
Every time I see you back down,
I want to scream and curse.

I'd like to shine a spotlight,
To show the world just how great you are.
Placing you on center stage,
While I marvel from afar.
From behind a pack of strangers,
Hiding.
