APM Poetry Marathon 6/8:

Write a poem that begins with the words "Stop hiding"

-

Stop hiding
from the sun in fear of tan
from the rain to not get drenched
from mud to not get dirty
from love to not fall in

-

Stop hiding me,
I'm not a sickness
like they want you to believe,
stars just stare
at pearls that runs
down your face,
while I sing you silence
at night,
offer you my shadow,
when Sun is too high
melting your cold mask,
I kiss your skin
to gray so numb,
and in return,
you romanticize
every time we had,
by painting rainbows
with letters and lines
with rhymes and metaphors
after every storm
I conjure.

I am pain,
depression
and sorrow,
and I love
how we defy
our destiny
with just words.

Stop hiding
into the dark alleys
for the fear of getting burnt
in the light
who knows
the gentle rays
will pat your skin
and put sleep
in your tired eyes
Stop weeping
for the same story
afraid of repeating your failed step
of loving someone
who knows
this love
was just beside you
all the time
when you looked lovelorn
at the star studded sky

Stop Hiding

#APMPoetryMarathon: Prompt 6

-

Stop hiding
And seeking a refuge into a hollow space of yourself
Only because you heard taunts and tantrums
For your thin lips and fat arms .
Your breasts aren't fuller than what they are because all that love is contained in your heart.
Your eyes are pale because all that spark is captivated in your mind .
Stop letting their abhorrence filled words eVen touch you .

Stop hiding
In places you don't even recognize
And in places you've forgotten the map of ,
The directions shall never guide you back home ,
In an attempt to find a place ,
You will lose the comfort of your own home .
So stop hiding yourself ,
Go back to yourself
And embrace yourself as tightly as you can
Shower all the love .

Three Things I Wish I Could Tell My 14 Year Old Self

1)Stop hiding
your lack of friends
on the pretense of being
introverted.
No matter how much you
try to convince yourself otherwise,
you will always be left
searching for new people
to hold onto.

2) Your life doesn't end at 16.
You'll go on for so much longer,
and though you'll face a lot of
bumps on the way, you'll still
make it in life. Relax.

3) Your family will always
have your back.
They'll be there for you
when you're crying over
ice cream, and they won't hate
you if you steal their share, too.

Stop...
Stop hiding behind the words
Show your emotions
Like fire...
Turn yourself into ashes
Create yourself as phoenix
Like moon...
Be yourself like a sea
Vast, furious yet peaceful
Like sun...
Jump from the cliff
Unhinged, free and fearful
Like an emotion
Like you...

Last seen...

हमारा देखने का बड़ा चाव है,
खुद का छिपाये रहते है
समझते हैं,
लग गया बड़ा दांव है..😀

-

Stop hiding
like a moon behind clouds.
You are a sunshine.
Bright. Strong.
Rip out your stubborn masks
from the barrels of inking flasks.
Learn to wear your hurts
like a golden smile on these hearts.
You are an eternal stardust.
