In Hiding Poems

I was hiding because...

I was hiding because I was scared to be seen

I was hiding because I didn't want to be found

I was hiding because I had nobody

I was hiding because I didn't know how to be normal

I was hiding because I wanted to be myself with being judged

I was hiding because I didn't want my true feelings to be seen or heard

I was hiding because I am different

I stopped hiding because someone saw me for me

Hiding

I was hiding because a lot of people know me and wanted to find me because of my music

I was hiding because I didn't want to deal with a lot of drama so I stayed away from it

I was hiding because I really wanted to tell a girl how I really felt about her

I was hiding because a lot of people wanted me for my money

I was hiding because I didn't want to show my feelings quite so soon

I was hiding because if I tell her how I'm really feeling she might say something negative

Maus

I was hiding because I did not want to get caught

I was hiding because I wanted to live

I was hiding because I wanted to stay with my family

I was hiding because I wanted to wait until things were normal again

I was hiding because I knew I would be treated badly

I was hiding because I did not want to separated

I was hiding because the war would be over soon

I stopped hiding because there was nowhere left to hide

Hiding

I was hiding because I don't like lames

I was hiding because I don't like to share my fame

I was hiding because either way, haters gonna hate

I was hiding because it's my own place to get away

I was hiding because I don't chase fate

I was hiding because I make cake that people try to take

I was hiding because people like to stand in the way of me doing great things

I was hiding because my play came and I woke up to the big gold gate

The Miller Center

I was at the Miller Center about a year ago

I got in trouble

I got kicked out by the director

I left and crossed the street and she called the cops

I saw the cop coming and ran across the street to hide

When I saw the cop my adrenaline was pumping

pumping

pumping

They never found me

So they left

I was happy and relieved

And then my friend came out and we went to his house

Big Bertha

I was hiding because

I shared a cell with Big Bertha

I was hiding because

She's crazy

I was hiding because

She likes to eat people

I was hiding because

She's ugly

I was hiding because

She steals my clothes

I was hiding because

She takes my lunch

I was hiding because

She's evil

I stopped hiding because

She had a stroke and died

Hiding

I was hiding the tears because I didn't want to let people see me cry and think I am weak

I was hiding the marks I painted on my wrist with a metal brush

I was hiding the fact I was broken deep down inside

I was hiding all the anger that was so deep for that one person

I was hiding this from everyone...

I was hiding everything...

I would stop hiding if everyone just stopped

Hiding

I was hiding because I'm afraid of judgement
I hide my true self for fear of being alone

I was hiding because of rejection from others

I hide my feelings because no one understands

I was hiding because of not knowing what others think

I hide my world because people can't understand or they think me insane

I was hiding from bullies then turned to fight

I hide from the world with technology

I was hiding because I was afraid

I still can't cry because of bullies

I stopped hiding because of help but some things are still hidden

Anne

I was hiding because if I told someone the truth they would yell "Jew"

I was hiding because if I told someone my feelings they might hurt me

I was hiding because if I told someone my feelings they might kill me

I was hiding because if I told someone where I was I would get sent to a concentration camp

I was hiding because the country is occupied by the Nazis

I was hiding because I am Jewish and I don't want to be killed

I was hiding because I have no choice
