Step Out Of The Darkness

Something that I wrote Today.

I hide in the darkness,
My shadow can't find me there.
My secrets stay hidden,
They can't see my despair.

I hide in the darkness,
The lack of light hides my scars.
My secrets stay hidden,
Not to be exposed among the stars.

I hide in the darkness,
The pitch black hides my tears.
My secrets stay hidden,
No pure honesty to my peers.

I hide in the darkness,
It's so much safer than the light.
My secrets stay hidden,
No need to face my failures in the night.

I hide in the darkness,
Its security is all I need.
My secrets stay hidden,
No one else has to see me bleed.

I hide in the darkness,
Promising to cross into the light soon,
My secrets stay hidden,
Afraid they'll lead me to my doom.

I hide in the darkness,
But maybe this all isn't right,
My secrets stay hidden,
But maybe truth is worth the fight.

After I wrote this it got me thinking, we all hide things. Often out of shame, or pride. Afraid that someone may look at us differently, or being afraid that you've let someone down. My challenge to you today, is to step out of the darkness, and be honest about what you've been hiding. Tell that person you're afraid to tell, and don't be ashamed. One bad thing doesn't define you. And it's only a bad thing if you yourself are unhappy about it. If you don't like something, change it, or make steps to improve it. If you are happy with the situation you are hiding step out and rejoice it. Don't let the opinions of others stifle your happiness.
