Trying to Escape

Bury the thoughts

Put them deep down inside

I reject them my self

I wish them away

The feelings, the hurt.

The want and the pain.

I can’t accept it

I can’t rectify it

To open up would be to validate it

To expose my soul

Like an open wound

It’s much too vulnerable

It would only bring ruin.

So I dig and I dig

To bury them deep.

Where no one can find them

But they find a way

They resurface when I sleep

I run and I run

And I try to escape

My own mind is chasing me

My own mind, I hate

I dig and I dig

But it’s never deep enough.
