I HIDE myself within my flower by Emily dickinson
Emily Dickinson is regarded as one of America’s greatest poets. She is famous for her unusual life of self imposed social seclusion. Living a life of simplicity and seclusion, she yet wrote poetry of great power; questioning the nature of immortality and death, with at times an almost mantric quality.
This poem was written to express feeling of two different things. One, she could be feeling lonely and is trying to show her husband that she needs him. Or two, she could be unmarried and noticing a guy who maybe acts like he doesn’t like her but she notices that he looks at her often. Those would be my top two guesses.
