You can't hide from self

By ColorMeToxic

Dark inside,
your skin is burning.
Try to hide...
continue running.
Don't get far...
you keep rewinding.

know that...
You can't hide from self.

Collect your sins,
your bad memories.
Stuff them down, or
re-live your misery.
it's your choice...
it's your decision.

know that...
you can't hide from self.

It's not too late,
to turn it all around.
Change your fate, and
learn to love yourself.
project your heart to
the world around you.

Just know that...
You can't hide from self.

Forced to gaze upon a gruesome self-portrait, with not enough abstract colors to mask its bitter scrutiny. The palate paints the pill to swallow. Nicely written.

No you can't hide, the mirror will remind each day. And you can't stuff it away either, because you will run out of space, in time, all good time. Hope maybe, but we can only change ourselves...

You are your own worst emeny. Hiding from ourselves is sometimes the only thing we know how to do. We hide so much for so long, that we foget and lose sight of who we really are. Great write. Very true.
