Hidden deep within my Heart,
There is a place, a place none will ever see.
A place so deeply protected,
Sometimes its hidden from me.

This place is for all the emotions I cannot share.
It's a dark place,  one will never know.
A place I shall not dare to go.
A place  which holds all my lost dreams. 

Every now and then,
I look into this place,
Only to feel empty,
I leave it behind, with sad disgrace.

Many times I have wondered,
Why I've hidden this place,
Only to be shown
That it must be this way.

So I go on, never speaking of these feelings,
Unsure why their there.
For who needs these feelings,
If there is no one here to share.

So many times I wish to walk away,
Forget about tomorrow as well as yesterday.
Never showing my true self,
Insecure of what one might say.

One day I know, I'll venture on.
For one day I know, This place shall be gone.
   When that time comes and the Light shines upon me,   
Then this is the time, I know I've been set Free.
