Open

the window shades and let in the light because I’ve been lost in the dark for so long.

I know that I’ve been lost but, I didn’t want to be found because coming back to this place.

Brings nothing but pain and the light hurts my eyes for all around I see the truth and it’s nothing but ugly.

I’ve never wanted to run away so fast in my life, I don’t care if  I’m running blindly right now.

I just know that I have to get away and breath again and laugh until it hurts and just be in the moment.

I want to face it all but, at the same time I’ve come to learn that walking away is better option sometimes.
