Hiding away

We hide behind so many scars,

We hide behind so many masks,

That we lose sight of our selves

And become desensitized to the pain,

We continue playing the illusory game

Where everything looks right

But you know that’s not the case,

Where you seek the limelight

But live within the confines of the dark

And shadowy places

That have been your past,

Hide behind your self deprication

And your sheer trepidation,

That to let go of all of this

Would leave you in deprivation

And so you remained manacled to a life

Full of pain and suffering.

Beholdent to a world that offers you nothing

But still you hide behind the scars,

And you hide behind the masks.

    Such is life, but it is hat you desire you claim in this life. If the world throws a lemon at you, make lemonade out of it as they say.
