Hide A-way
THE DARKEST SHADOWS, THE LONELIEST PLACES
THE UNWELCOMING LAIR OF DENIZENS
WHERE THERE MIGHT BE NO TRACES
HIDEY HOLES TO RETREAT FROM SOCIETY
OUT OF TOUCH UNABLE TO RECEIVE ANY PITY
CUT OFF FROM SCRUTINY AND GLARE
FEELING THAT EVERY EYE AT YOU WILL STARE
FEELINGS OF DIMININSHED ESTEEM
RARELY WANTING TO BE SEEN
MORE THAN ENOUGH FINGERS TO COUNT YOUR SUCCESSES
AND ENOUGH TO DOCUMENT YOUR EXCESSES
TURNING RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT
AND MISSING THE FOOD OF LIFE AND IT'S ZEST
LEARNING TO MAKE DO, HUMBLED AND EASILY SATED
THE CURTAIN OF LAUGHTER AND A BIG SMILE
WHERE, YOU'D EASILY RUN A MILE
KEEPER OF YOUR OWN COMPANY
SHUNNER OF CROWDS, FAVOURING WHERE THERE'S NOT MANY
LITTLE COACHING AND POOR NURTURING
MOSTLY SPAWNS ADULTS WITHOUT LIFES BLESSINGS
LIFE EBBS AWAY, YOU MAY WELL TRY TO HOLD BACK THE SEA
BUT, WHAT WILL BE, WILL BE
CERTAIN THAT YOU'VE WASTED LIFE
AND CAN'T BELEIVE THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE BUT STRIFE
COMANDEERING EVERY OPPERTUNITY TO HIDE
AND TAKE YOUR PLACE BY THE WAYSIDE.
