WORDS TO HIDE BEHIND
mad hippie poet 1974 (new jersey)
I always hid behind the sentences and the words
either to calm my mind or to get the girl to who I was too shy to talk. they would always put warm smiles on their face. this shyness of mine was more of a mysterious look it made people wonder what is inside the book.
Now that I am older my words are of love but not of that kind, with so much going on in this world today I have so much more to say. I have the power, I have the mind. I changed myself now the world is mine.
No longer am I shy, no longer want to hide
I just want to lead those words that everyone uses to follow. these dreams need to stop too many chances are being lost, too many changes, and no one to pay the cost.
What are we asking ourselves when we decide to hide behind words that hold no meaning they all no longer have any action. they are not about love, hate, or war they only fall on deaf ears
