I thought I could run
from myself and from my guilt
I thought I could hide
from all the hate I've built.
I thought I could lie
about my life and about myself
I thought I could push
all my fear on a shelf.
I thought I could live
a life without knowing
I thought I could move
and not see where I'm going.
But what I see
Is a past full of violence-
and now I am here
Sitting in Silence
