“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter

i bury myself in facts
organization to a fault
to hide from the world,
from people and fears
people think I'm shy
I'm hiding.
i hide in plane site, yet
nobody sees me
i cry for someone to see me
anyone, just someone to care
nobody has found me
nobody is looking
i smile, i laugh
no one notices the pain i hide
the pain in my soul
so today i sit here and think
and try not to cry
tomorrow will be the same
until the day i die
