Security In Anonymity

I hide behind this screen
Creating something for myself
Spinning poems from my fingertips
Like some sad, forgotten music
Creating a web of words to conceal me
I could be a murderer hiding from the police
I could be a film star hiding from their fans
But instead
I'm just me
Hiding from
Myself

*Special thanks to TSI25 (Taylor) for the poem title and for giving me the inspiration to write this in the first place*

    The ending is definitely what stands out on this little piece. In ways, I think we all hide from ourselves in some way, so I definitely connected with this poem.

    Honestly, I hide my poetry... no one really knows I write outside of PnQ, my dad and fiance knows, but neither have read any of it. I get anxiety with them reading it, because I would feel like they would say it's good because they feel 'obligated' to. Here, I get honest opinions. and...I'm ranting lol. Sorry :P

    Props to Taylor for the title; and definitely props to you for this wonderful, secret filled poem!

    The ending and the whole thing behind this was sad, and I know exactly what it feels like to hide.

    I love the wording, it was really simple but I liked the title and the contrast between the both, the flow was flawless, totally flawless.

    Really great poem. I must read more of your poetry, you are a great writer, at 18 I wasn't nearly as good as you.

    Lemon,
    I must again say how you really are taking into the PnQ way, and seriously coming in like a hurricane. I absolutely love everything you write, and this is no exception. The title, I could've guess from Taylor! Big words that my little Ohioan mind has to read slowly. lol! But really, it's beautifully brilliant. The title, and the entire piece.

    What really sold me on this piece was how you were listing who would be who, and all these suspicious things and a cool possibility of a rockstar and you ended it like this

    "I'm just me
    Hiding from
    Myself"

    That was quite sad. I think we all feel like that, but you explore that thought so much, and you just turn the piece of us that we all hate to feel into absolute art. When you're a star on PnQ, please remember me ;) LOL
