There isnt any space left to hide I see you have caught up with me again old friend I thought I left you behind all those years ago When I escaped the ruins of childhood I see that you are a good detective Always one step behind me Always lurking in the shadows Just waiting to confront me But somehow I knew this day would come Didnβt think it would be today though Today was not the day I expected you I have spent my entire life evading you And now where else can I hide? I doubt very much you would understand And let me go this one last time? I donβt suppose I could elude you in a bottle of ***** Or perhaps some fantastic day dream Or even some other destructive pleasure? I see your face changing, getting angrier And feel your beckoning becoming more forceful But I am not ready to confront you now Please Mr. Past, be patient with me Depart from me this once again Today is just too soon My heart is not ready to feel your sting And my mind is too restless to think Tomorrow I promise to deal Give me another day to prepare myself Please once more, let me hide And you seek
Oftentimes intrusive thoughts come in moments we least expect. The worst ones are those of past hurts. Sometimes , just to avoid facing the painful memories, we hide in activities that may not be healthy.
