Place to hide

I never 'meet' in meetings
I just hear the hollow sounds
When jargon leaves me tongue tied
How i wish for a place to hide

I wake up and think

of the day ahead and sigh

I will march on taking it all in stride

But how i wish for a place to hide

When my friends come over

We talk share jokes we smile

Yet with no reason on my side

I do long for a place to hide

True, no man is an island

but nor is he a local train

i do not regret this ride

But how i wish for a place to hide

So many do's and don't in this world
guffaws replaced with repressed smiles
while all etiquette I do abide
But how i wish for a place to hide

When you trust somebody

You give them the power to strike

While i try to let that one comment slide

How i wish for a place to hide

The world is tough and hardly fair

Failure are hard and too many to bear

As i soothe my hurt pride

How i wish for a place to hide

We are so quick to judge , compartmentalize

Will i ever be understood

or my legacy be a stereotype

someone who wished for a place to hide
