Under This Rock
Under this rock
I choose to live
Feign not your shock
No reason give
Easier it be
Shadowed small crack
They see not me
Ne’er I look back
Great weight presses
This I must bear
Less the stresses
Of world out there
Ignorant bliss
Happier here
The things I miss
All things I fear
Home in the dark
Safe from the world
Words leave no mark
When hatred hurled
Troubles you make
Life in the sun
Shale will not shake
Safety is won
Sunlight has burned
Pale, fragile me
Leave rock unturned
Let my home be
Safety renew
Scared I would be
To live life true
Exposing me
Content but cramped
Where I take stock
My life revamped
Under this rock
I hope at some point everyone comes out from under their rock and shares their gift with the world!
A beautiful sentiment Jim! Thank you!
it goes with your poem!
