To Arthur "Boo" Radley - based on the novel To Kill A Mockingbird

this was just for extra credit for an English class and I find it kind of funny now. "People are overrated" ;) 

 

Hide away,

Hide away,

It’ll be okay,

Shut the world out,

Draw the curtains,

And shut yourself forever away;

Hide away,

Hide away,

Close the door and lock it,

Don’t allow visitation,

This is your life everyday,

Darken the room,

Flip the lights off,

And never show your face;

Hide away,

Hide away,

People are overrated,

They never understand,

So that’s why you hide away,

For years and years;

Ignore the rumors that are spread,

Ignore the lies that are told;

Kill the lights,

Close the shutters,

Sit in silence,

And hide yourself forever away.
