Hiding In My Closet

Hiding in my closet
Things aren't what they seem
Here I can escape to the moon
In my world of dreams
No one can touch me
As I live in fairy tale land
Where the sun is always shining
As I run in the sand

Hiding in my closet
I can soar up to the sky
Where little kids don't suffer
And they don't have to cry
I'm taken out of the darkness
In the safety of my world
Where only dreams can make me
A happy little girl

Hiding in my closet
Praying they won't see
The places that I travel
While they hit on me
Sometimes I just lay
On a fluffly cloud so white
Letting it protect me
From the evils of the night

Hiding in my closet
I can soar up to the sky
Where little kids don't suffer
And they don't have to cry

(c) Linda Hill 2004

i wish my imagination was working as a child like it is now
my mind was just blank just dark with "why" and in the letter "how"
very well coined for the lucky ones......

Touching and powerful your message here. I could feel that child and see also.
Hopefully one day we as humans will stop hurting and making other suffer and for sure children shouldn't

Another truly heartwrenching write, Linda.

I find the inhumanity of humanity almost too much to ponder sometimes.

Linda, when i was little, i used to hide in my closet too - my imaginary friends and dolls were so much nicer than what lived outside. This poem was like a flashback into my memory. Thanks.
