Silent Words
If I can run away now… one more time
Yet alive… is why perhaps I can never hide
I am myself at an end road to find
Landed as always into a situation never to like
I’m better by myself
I’m also better if I’m learnt to be with
I’m the worst if I am no one else
Than best perhaps with someone no one believes
What is something new I can tell myself every time
Do we really need something fresh… or refresh?
What is something old to never fail to remind?
Is there really one every worst for that one every best?
There has got to be an endless outcome
Thinkable and unfathomable alike
Minds known are impossible to run
To only feel so alive each time when my mind died
One last time... to run away
As always to only find a situation I’d never like
I can only remain silent because words won’t say
Why I am alive but choose rather to hide
