Run and Hide

Carmella Mae Dunkin
Pen in hand I try to write the feelings deep inside

but all I get is emptiness and a desire to run and hide

from what do I hide, I cannot tell, no matter how I try

for it all is so horrible, I want to run and hide

What to do when feeling crushed by life's eternal slide

I wish to only turn, and then go run and hide.

What makes such pain inside one mind?

I can only say a lot, for bringing everything to the top,

only makes me want to run and hide!

This life I do not love, in fact I hate quite a lot,

but that's okay, God has a place I know I'll love a lot.

One day this life will pass away, and peace I will finally find,

then no longer will I wish, to run and hide!

    It works so much better when the pen actually can write the words for me -- then I don't need to run and hide. Just duck and shy while someone reads it -- you don't and that's amazing!
