"Laces"

Nobody said it would be easy,
Running away from your family.

Hiding your pain is the only way,
To keep you quite,
I've been silent for over a couple months,
The temptation is slowly eating me inside,
To scream and shout from pain.

But running I'm used to,
I've ran away from bullies physically,
I ran away from my father mentally,
I've ran away from love open admittedly.

The difference between then and now,
Is the fact love caused that pain,
But now I hate,
Hating myself every second of my existence.

The difference now is that I have my laces untied,
I keep falling flat on my face...

It's time to sever my laces,
My ties,
My hate,
My emotion...

My love.
