Hide

When the world is against you,
you often shrink away,
quiet still, quiet now,
having nothing at all to say.

When no one seems to love you,
you often lock up and cry,
wishing people would see on the outside,
what's really there inside.

When people try to avoid you,
you often go away.
Hiding from everything that hurts you,
hoping for no more days.

When others try to hurt you,
you pull yourself inside,
wishing the pain would end,
you run away and hide.
