In the closet <br />You’ll find a pair <br />Of bright hazel eyes <br />All watery and <br />Body wrapped up <br />In a large comforter. <br />It’s the only protection. <br />Did you see her run into the closet? <br />To hide from your menacing eyes? <br />To cry in secret? <br />To hide from reality? <br />The screaming continues <br />Without her paying attention now. <br />Hiding in the closet <br />Was all she could do. <br />To ignore the feeling <br />Of not being wanted.<br /><br />Jennifer Ottinger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hiding-41/
