I try to hide,
but they always seem to find me.

They are really good at seeing though me costumes.

They never give me away,
thank goodness for that.

When I hide, they know why
and let me hide.

Its good I can hide,
cause i would rather be hidden then be seen.

People who are always seen,
always can be destroyed by nothing.

People who are hidden don't need the things that people who are seen need.

So let me hide
and I will let you be seen

your waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away, you hope you know where this train will take you but you dont know for sure. but it doesn&#039;t matter. how does it not matter where this train will take you? because we will be together

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Very nice poem, and it made me think, which I love. There are a few spelling and grammer errors, but aside from that it's great!
