Hiding

Sometimes I feel as if I have to hide myself, and bring out another part of me.

Words that bite my skin tonight

 

I can sense my presence is unwanted.

 

"Stand up, you should be alright"

 

I can sense the truth is unwanted.

 

I have suffered long enough

 

I feel the urge of disappearing.

 

I've went through this hard enough

 

I feel the need of forever changing.

 

 

I try to hide myself...

 

It's coming back up- it's choking me

 

I try to maintain myself...

 

It's coming back up- it's killing me

 

The thin skin that hides the truth

 

It's going to crack and bleed and hurt

 

The shell that protects my truth

 

It's going to split open and hurt

 

The pressure will be too strong

 

I'm going to die, I'm going to die

 

What I am doing is wrong

 

The truth's gonna die, the truth's gonna die

It hurts to keep the real you hidden for so long...

This is dark and very intriguing.. Seems like an inner battle going on. It can't be good to keep the true self hidden. We sometimes feel like we are going to suffocate in something that we are not. Very powerful writing!

One can sense the struggle in your mind, with the intricate reply to each line and phrase. So deeply moving, full of the anxiety of one who must hide to escape the pain of the world. Love the experimental nature of this piece. Just amazing...
