A place to hide



Oh how I wish
I could find a place to hide
Hide so hard that not even the light
Will be able to find me.
I need so much
For you to be by my side
To lead me and guide me
Into a safe reality.
If we wait to long
There will be no way
To prevent this you see.
I'm sliping away
Down into a hole
If I don't get out soon
I'll never be able to grow.
My mind is turning into a different world
One that I do not understand
Or even care to try.
It won't be long now
So I shall say, Good-bye.
