My Release

My Release
Hobbes

We run through eternity with our heads in our hands
Everything is distorted by the blindness of society
Nothing I see is real
Nothing I hear is true
Nothing I touch is there
Nothing is nothing but a word
It's a word that fills my heart and soul
It clouds my thoughts and eats away at what I am
We don't quite understand it but we know its there
It always twists
always turns

I see only shades of grey
If you look upon my face you will see it
All I seek is release
All I seek is comfort
All I seek is an end
But what does it mean to seek an end?
In this end who  really prospers?
I would not, for in death all comes to an abrupt end.
My family would be crushed and never be the same
My friends would suffer
My community would be shaken to its roots
Death solves nothing
It only creates problems and strife

We jump through hoops trying to please everyone
Every action planned with surgical persision
I hide what I am
I hide who I am
I hide behind lies
I can hide no more
Hiding tares at my heart my mind and my soul
My family is kept in the shaddows
They do not know my true face
I can do this no more
I will not lie or hide anymore
The truth shall set me free
Even if it kills me

It is possible that I write as a release
It is possible that all I do is appeal to others
I write to vent
I write to share
I write to express
I write because at the end of the day I always will have my words
Nobody can take my words from me
My words are what define me
I always stand strong
I always keep on keeping on
This is my release.

This is my mind
My life
My everything
Nobody can tell me otherwise!
