Spoken Word for the Spring 2014 CSUN Performance Ensemble: I Am In Hiding
It’s extremely hard for me
to keep myself private
from the rest of the world.
It’s also hard for me
to put myself out there
for everyone to see.
Why are you watching me?
You have 3 options:
you either stand out to be known,
blend in with the society,
or hide away.
Will you ever get to know the real me?
You are put here in this world
for a reason.
A reason that will take
a very long time.
A lifetime
to figure out
who you are
as an individual
a human being.
Will you ask me who I am?
And will you listen to the answer?
You are constantly
bombarded by
police officers, security guards, CIA/FBI,
the paparazzi, and news reporters
watching and capturing your every move.
And you decide to watch me.
Why are you watching me?
This will come to a breaking point
that all of this surveillance
will frustrate and overwhelm you.
Which leads me to ask a very important question:
WHY?
Why are you doing this?
Why is it that all of a sudden
every single one of us
dropped what we are doing
just to focus on a single person?
Why are you still here?
Don’t you have a life to live?
Why are you focusing on my life?
Can’t we just leave that person alone?
That person does not
want to be in the spotlight!
Yet you are forcing that person
To be in that spotlight!
You are doing that right now!
I don’t like this!
Do me a favor and just go away!
Leave me alone!
That person does not want her life
To be in public!
She wants her life
To be kept in private!
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
My life is NOT important to you!
Please go away! Get out of here!
She wants to be in hiding.
I need to be in hiding.
She doesn’t want to be seen.
I don’t want to be seen.
She doesn’t want to be bothered.
Don’t bother me.
She wants to be alone.
I need to be alone.
She doesn’t want anyone to see her.
I DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE ME!
Her life isn’t important to everyone.
My life is not important to you!
She wants everyone to go away.
PLEASE GO AWAY! Let me be!
She wants to hide away from this world.
I need to hide away from this world.

THE LIFE OF A LONE WANDERING OUTCAST
I am such a LONER
for a very long time.
I am traveling, wandering,
running, walking,
far and wide,
near and deep,
just looking for a spot
yearning for a comfort place
where I can be ACCEPTED
surrounded with lots of positive people
doing the things that I love.
I am not there yet,
I am still searching,
going from one place to another
with doors slamming shut on me
along the way,
hearing the word "NO" countless times
feeling that I am
NOT GOOD ENOUGH
for them
and I NEVER will be.
AM I A GOOD FIT?!?!
I am a good fit
for ME.
and NOT for THEM.
for a very long time.
