Escape

Sometimes there are just times where you wish you could just run off to a place where no one knows you...to conceal yourself, to forget the mistakes you made, and to run away from pressure, confusion and your sadness. But no matter how we run, the shadows come chasing after you. They reach out, they engulf you and they swallow you whole. You sink into a pool of depression; your heart bleeds in regret, and your soul cries for salvation.

You reach out, trying to hold on to the threads of life and the strings of hope. You grasp them tightly in your hands...and pray hard for them not to snap. Bitterly, you laugh at yourself, clinging on to such illusions and feeding off them like a parasite. Your mind tells you to stop. Stop hanging onto your dreams, let go...and let yourself become one with the black nothingness. You tell yourself to hang on. Continue hanging on. No matter how hard it is...

Now close your eyes...and let out your tears. Don't hide yourself, and never ever fear. Because no matter how dark the night is; no matter how desperate your silent screams ring; and no matter how full emptiness is...the light will come...I expect.

"Don't give up hope..."
