Hiding
Under the snorts of your laughter
The drinks you took after
The dreams you want to chase
The lonelyness of the maze
Running
From the shadows of your past
The nights that didn't last
The failures you don't wanna admit
The evolution that deems you unfit
Always under the cover
Unaware, unfazed
Eyes closed as if blinding the world
Masquerade grace
Sand slipped through the fingers
Nights changed into day
The ball not yet over
What'd you gain at the end of the day?
The points to take you to after?
The money you didn't make?
Maybe the roar of your laughter
The one where you weren't fake.
Life long, all we do is hide, run and ignore, either consciously or unconsciously. It's time to live it all, right here, right now. There might not even be a tomorrow for all you know. Stay healthy, stay hopeful🙏🏼
