How do I escape when I'm the prison?
Tell me, so I can run away.

Arelove Nov 8
Sudden banging on my front door woke me up.
I felt it in my fingertips, then in my lips.
I knew it was you.

I really thought the chase was over.
I'm sure I lost you back then.
But, I guess, I'm still on the run.
it's almost been 5 years, I thought I've recovered from my depression already. My relapse felt like I'm being chased again.

"Tick-tock tick-tock
Time is running
Shouldn't you do the same?"

"But to where? To what? To whom?"

"To the One that matters most, to Whom you matter the most."

The less I think
The more I breathe

The less I feel
The more I heal

The less I mind (others)
The more I find (myself)

I know it's wrong to deceive people
Whether with tears or with a smile
But I can't keep myself from doing so
So I pretty much expected that I'll end up here

Here, alone
No one to talk to
No one to deceive

Whenever I go out of this place
I'm clothed with fear
To be seen
To be known
Clothed with fear
That the life I'm living
Will be exposed

Step 1: Get out of bed
Step 2: Look in the mirror
Step 3: Practice your smile
Step 4: Eyedrops to hide the red eyes
Step 5: Conceal the dark circles
Step 6: Breathe
The curtains are almost up
Step 7: Lock down the pain
Step 8: Ignore the weight on your chest
Step 9: Silence the screams inside of your mind
Step 10: Choke down the sobs
Step 11: Ignore the stinging in your eyes
Step 12: Swallow past the tightness in your throat
You’ve put on this show a million times
Step 13: Don’t let them see
Times up. Curtains up. Camera rolling
You know how when you’re not ok but you try so hard to pretend you’re ok that it becomes a ritual

Remember
It was I, do you
Remember?
It used to be I
That leans and cries
Upon your shoulder

Remember
It was we, do you
Remember?
It used to be we
Who will be for ever
