I Hide

There is something inside
Therefore I hide
My eyes are wide in fear
As I await to see
Something I’ve never seen before
My fingers tremble in terror
As I reach to touch
Something I’ve never felt before
And then..
My heart misses a beat
I freeze and I sweat
I see what is inside
It is real, it is alive
A wild beastly surprise
That thing that hides inside
Is all that I feared it would be
It wears a disguise
Behind the disguise, is the real me

Very nice! I'm not much of a poet myself, so I really admire you for taking steps toward something that you - at least to me - don't seem as comfortable writing in.

I like the way poetry can be very personal and even private sometimes. Congratualtions with your new venture- I wish you good fortune with it. ;)Pia

I like this Sharmi. As a non-poet I don't know if you need the 'the real' in the last line. cf Behind the disguise is me.

Thank you nirdquirk, Pia and celticman for reading my not so perfect poem. And thank you also for the suggestions. I need to rewrite it:)

"...There is something inside Therefore I hide..." I believe we all hide something dear Sharmi.
