I’ve decided to continue with a poem each evening simply because I wish to share the power and beauty of poetry with whomever visits this blog.
Here is a poem written by my dear friend, Laurie Petrisin. Laurie is a gifted artist and writer. You can view and purchase her work on her art website here,her jewelry website here or on Etsy.
Hiding
Will you hide your whole life?
Your whole existence?
Is life not yours
To do with what you will?
Bad things happen
It’s not a clear path
Or a smooth ride
And you’re not perfect
But don’t sentence yourself
To victim status
You’re more than that
Fight!
Let out the primitive roar
The unpolished You
That the world tries
To sand away
Little by little
Bit by bit
Until you disappear
You won’t find yourself
By hiding
