Hide In My Own Tears
I never been good at running
because i foolishly run back
so i go out and hide
As a reaction to an act.
The world can't hear my cries
But they see my tears
The world don't see my darkest insecurities
But they do see my fears.
When I start to run, I trip and fall
From then I must find my mistake
and even if it means doing the same thing
I'll give it all it takes
So I've decided to stop running
and in my sorrows abide
So instead of running
I go out and hide
Instead of letting what i feel be open
I bundle it inside
And when no one else is looking
In my tears, I hide.
I got tired of running
Because falling is my biggest fear
So instead of escaping them
I just hide in my own tears.
