Hiding

I hide in my books,
I hide in my words,
I hide in my blade,
I hide in my memories,
And i hide in my music,

Hide,
Hide,
Hide,
That's all I do,
And I'm tired,

Hiding is exhausting,
Pretending is exhausting,
Fooling people is exhausting,
But i don't know how to stop,

Hiding,
And pretending
And fooling people is all i know,

I don't know how to wake up one day and say no,
I don't know how to wake up one day step out from behind my books
I don't know how to wake up one day and turn down the music,
I don't know how to wake up one day and throw away the blade,
I don't know how to wake up one day and not hide,

I do know how to wake up and say I don't want to be like this,
I know how to whine,
I know how to cry,
And I know how to complain,

But it's all silent,
Or drowned out by my music
Or stored in a bookcase with all my other books,
Or hidden like my cuts,

I am tired of hiding,
I just don't know how to stop.
