Time to Hide

Its time to hide
but its alright
a safe place of distance,
a little less strife

from words that keep stinging,
and people who wont stop
I'm letting myself walk to the bottom
so i don't have to drop

because finally Ive learned
all the reasons to give up
suddenly stuck in comfort
of a warm tea cup

i glance around still expecting
to see a concerned face
but they're giving me the distance
to let my hopes erase

too close Ive come to dying
to let it happen once more
i wont learn to close
but rather destroy my open door

ill spend my life looking one way
through a window where I'm secure
until I've learned to breathe alone
to truly be pure

i look forward to a brighter future
even as i recall the tears Ive cried
hoping this will be the last epiphany...
the last time to hide

-i need a little break. so I'm doing just that.
