Trying to Escape
Some things you can’t run away from
Bury the thoughts
Put them deep down inside
I reject them my self
I wish them away
The feelings, the hurt.
The want and the pain.
I can’t accept it
I can’t rectify it
To open up would be to validate it
To expose my soul
Like an open wound
It’s much too vulnerable
It would only bring ruin.
So I dig and I dig
To bury them deep.
Where no one can find them
But they find a way
They resurface when I sleep
I run and I run
And I try to escape
My own mind is chasing me
My own mind, I hate
I dig and I dig
But it’s never deep enough.
