Hide

Sometimes I want to hide from life so I don't have to feel things Like strife. I see children Staring Learning to fear Never daring. It makes me weep These salty tears To see such babes So full of fears. I wish for once That I was strong To hold their hand To sing a song A song of beauty Of magic and light A song of love And of doing right. I want to hide Away from pain. Away from silence That screams my name I cover my ears My eyes held tight To block out The piercing night. But in attempts To avoid the sadness I'm afraid I fell into madness The crazy part- I wasn't scared To be the one Who never cared. If I could cut Away these scars And leave myself Chasing stars Then maybe I would Find my place Amongst the sky's Out in space.
