AGORAPHOBIA

Hiding in the darkness,
In the safety of night,
Hiding from reality,
By keeping out of sight.

Hiding from the truth,
If the truth be told,
Hiding from the future,
Lest the tale unfold.

Hiding from tomorrows,
Behind the lie they stay,
Hiding from the life,
That one must lead today.

Hiding from the past,
Trying hard to forget,
Hiding from a happiness,
That turned into regret.

Hiding from the changes,
One never did expect,
Hiding lest you see,
The love they did reject.

Hiding from the thoughts,
Of running far away,
Hiding from the absence,
Of words to make you stay.

Hiding in behind a mask,
Lest someone comprehends,
Hiding all the reasons,
From even closest friends.
