Do You Hide in the Dark?



Are you afraid to let me "see"
The real you standing next to me?
Or do you find a private place
To hide your always lonely face?

I know "it's easier said than done",
But please do not avoid all fun
Believing some will laugh at you,
And then reject the things you do!

You must not think so negative
Instead, make friends who try to give
Support and never judge you when
Your differences are seen again!
