My Hidden 'It'

It dwells in my mind,

In trenches of my thoughts,

It is hidden from the world,

Never seen, never caught.

There is darkness, there is light,

There is innocence & crime

There is sadness and joy,

And confusion sometimes.

It pains me, troubles me,

It makes me smile wide,

It soothes me, comforts me,

Horrifies me other times.

You'll never know it,

And I'll never show,

It has no end,

It'll only grow.

It dwells in my mind,

In trenches of my thoughts,

It is hidden from the world,

Never seen, never caught.
