Hidden Poems
masks
by Gabrielle Maritz
the masks we wear to disguise and hide the pain inside
to show a pretty face every day because that's all society wants
they don't want you
they don't want the tears or the wrinkles on your face
they don't want the bags under your eyes
your easy to replace
doesn't matter whats in your heart
all they see is the outside anyway
if you don't look the part ,there's no place for you
the world is drowning in the evil we've turned it to

Budding
by Pink Deity
A supple flower bud sprouts from the soil
Fresh, happy, determined, alive
It breathes it’s first breath of air
The sun nurtures, the rain quenches
It slowly grows day by day
Watching the people, watching the animals
Watching the other flowers form
One by one they blossom
They all grew taller, they all grew beautiful
The flower couldn’t help but wonder

Reflections of the Self
by Ayatullah Nurjati
As I stand, a poet in an ocean of words,
Unspoken feelings, unheard verses surge.
What is this craft, this calling to write?
Is it light for others or my own plight?
I pen the tales of others, the struggles they bear,
Yet each word I write is a weight I wear.
To live, to serve, to break free from norm,
A poet’s life—a perpetual storm.
