Breakdown
In hiding within No one knows how anyone else feels, nor can one person explain how another will react to the same situation.

You Should See Her
I love the twist at the end of this poem. One of those where you think it’s obvious and then it isn’t. But to me, as a spiritual thinker, this has an important point.
