Hiding

by The Flame Within   Apr 20, 2005


I went to bed screaming, to a song i don't really know
my eyes are now gleaming, as i reveal the side i don't show

the music is in my body, as i yell every line
i cant stop screaming, i no longer feel fine

my reply to people, who ask if i am OK
sure I'm good, and i move with my miserable day

i cant let them see, that i hurt on the inside
i cant let them see, how many times i fail when i tried

i must not move, from my hiding spot in my head
if i do i know that a fact i will end up dead

i must stay hiding for my protection and for others
for my friends, family, and for my soon to be little brother

i must not let my emotions show, i must be strong
but why is it that when i do this it doesn't feel wrong

i know it is, even though as i hide it feels right
i must continue hiding and never let myself in you sight

i must have learned it, when i was a little boy
when my mom would beat me, when i head in the closet with my toys

i guess its a part of me, a habit i cannot break
but i have been hiding to long, my strength starts to shake

how much longer i can go, i don't really know
but if i hide all my life, then soon the blood will flow

i must wait, wait to come out of my space
wait to show my true emotions in my actions, through my face

    "i like to let the blood flow but it hurts to pick ths scab, the best i can do without cuting"

    Since we can't comment on quotes, i decided to this way. Anyways. I love this, this is so great! I can relate to all of it. Just one question. Does this mean you don't cut anymore? J/W Thanks.
