Of Sixes and Sevens

Escapee

You know they all pretend

In the end, you only have yourself to fend

Trapped in a world of hesitation and confusion

Everyone you reach out to seeming to be an illusion.

Back away; run away; hide away

Don't let anyone be the reason your heart will sway.

Slip away; shield away; sleep away;

Your world has turned to gray.

Silence is your best friend; silence is your enemy

You can not seem to put your feelings into brevity.

Darkness is welcoming; darkness strikes fear

You want to run away from everything near.

Save yourself, save yourself

Don't put away your feelings on the shelf.

Don't let them get dusty; don't let yourself forget they're there

Or you'll regret it, as past your lips comes your final breath of air.
