No Where to Hide

by Walter   Aug 10, 2020


It's when you wake but still feel sad
There's no escape when life is bad
Your heart it hurts but hardly beats
As you lay still between the sheets

You feel exhausted and yet can't sleep
Nor can escape from problems deep
You want to run but barely walk
You want to scream and yet can't talk

Your keys in hand and out the door
You cannot take this anymore
Begin to drive but don't know where
The road you're on will take you there

A car park on an empty beach
A place deserted and out of reach
And witness something you never knew
Watch as the sky turns slowly blue

You see the sun begin to rise
Your demons suddenly paralyzed
And even for the briefest while
You feel so guilty for your smile

    I relate to this a lot. Feeling like you're constantly living in opposites. Good write.

      Hi Skyfire...that's exactly it, opposite extremes and no middle ground. Thank you for your comment :)
