Forgive me if I do it a lot,
Hide behind metaphors, cute pictures and stone breaking smiles.
Hiding-It's the only way I know how to keep living.
It's like trying to breathe under water,
It's like calling for help through a gagged mouth,
Its like hanging off a cliff because you'd rather not drop dead.
Hiding is like just being without living because its the only chance you've got at living.
You hide because something is lurking,
Your worries, fears, insecurities and anxieties.
You hide because when you let them find you, the world loses you.
You fade away like footprints in the desert.
So its okay to fake a smile,
so much depends on it.
Its okay to hide when you're scared
but don't get lost in the dark!
It becomes scarier than whatever is lurking
We can't ever know the full story until you tell it.
