Forget Closure

I just want to escape,
To run to my dreams
Where life is perfect
And everything’s as it seems.

I’m tired of faking
This mask I wear.
I want to break free
If and when I dare.

I don’t want pity
Or to seem helpless
Nor do I like
Playing the damsel in distress.

I love living life
But some times I’m too much
I give up on myself
When I often loose touch

With the people in my life
Who I care about
But then I start to think
And it leaves much doubt.

My world is afraid
I think they’ll hate me
Even my closest friends
Can’t see my insecurity.

Which is exactly why
I wear a mask.
If they can’t see me
Then they won’t ask.

Nine times out of ten
I’d be screwing myself over
But I’ll take that one chance
And forget the closure.
