Hidden in the Shadows

Original Poem
Written By Alice Cashman
A very pale boy is covered in black streaks of makeup. He is sad.

Nobody sees me

Nobody knows me

Nobody hears the thoughts I think out loud

Nobody whispers to me in the surrounding darkness

Nobody feels the urge to take charge

Nobody knows the desperate measures I’m willing to take

Nobody sees the black ink seeping through the paper

Nobody catches sight of the fire in my eyes

Nobody could possibly care for what I love

Nobody matches the level of my skill

Nobody knows the intricate details playing their way through my mind

Nobody has the will to peer into my soul

Nobody
