I Am(Written On April 6,2009) Poem by Elizabeth Burnworth

I am hiding from myself
I wonder how long the pain will last
I hear the voice that tells me i cant
I see the world head to ruin
I want to forget
I am hiding from myself

I pretend that i am happy
I feel lost and alone
I touch the scars from my past
I worry about tomorrow
I cry when i am alone
I am hiding from myself

I understand that nothing lasts forever
I say that im alright when im not
I dream of a day when i can laugh freely
I try to move on, though the world has walked out
I hope this feeling wont last
I am hiding from myself
