Hide

I used to hide.

Hide behind the lies

behind my red crying eyes

behind the people who I thought were friends

who left me for better trends.

All I could find was the worst in myself

and I didn't know how I could get help

but the truth is all I had to do was rise

I had to realize

that I am the best me

and I was set free.

I would be lying if I said I still didn't hide

sometimes I still let my lack of pride
get the best of me

but at least now I can see

that things can get better

If I force the negative thoughts to just let me be.

I'm done playing hide and seek.
