Hide and Seek

I've been running away for far too long.
Now I feel the time has come,
To give in to thoughts I know are true,
And quit believing in what I thought I knew.

Been hiding from myself,
Put all my feelings on a shelf.
Lost and forgotten,
I'm tired of feeling rotten.

Spent too long behind this mask,
Never answering questions they ask.
At least not honestly,
Cuz they would be on to me.

Bent... no broken, and on the verge of insane.
Sorrow, hatred, and vindictiveness coursing through my veins.
Over time I eventually succumbed
To the overwhelming ease of being numb.

No more playing pretend,
It's time to make amends.
Turing down a different lane,
Erasing my thoughts that were in vain.

I will have to put this cancer in remission,
If I am ever to find absolution.
Seek and you shall find.
I just hope I have the right presence of mind.
