Hiding

[Sammy]

I hide away in the darkness

the tears rolling down my cheek

cowering in the corner

with the blanket over my head

Sucking my thumb and crying

wondering why people are bad

wondering how they could be so

and wanting answers to come

Why do I sit in the dark?

Hiding away from the light?

And why can't I stop crying?

and see the good in my life?

I don't want to be like this anymore

I want to be happy and free

but when the light comes

I hide again in the dark

I'm scared of my own reflection

I jump at the noises I hear

and when I feel love

all I do is run again

So why can't I be happy?

with all that I have?

and why can't i just enjoy

the love that i'm given?

The fact that you are questioning it shows that you are some way down the recovery path. I'm sure you'll turn that corner and will then be able to change some of the words. The poem made me feel very emotional as it is exactly how I feel at times. xxx

I think I've actually come a long way since I wrote this poem about 2 years ago. I just wanted to share some of my old stuff.
