I am running away as
I am scared to share my words with you.
I am afraid to tell that I always longed for those listening ears.
I am running away as
I am scared of turning the fond memories into blots and scars.
I am afraid I still think of the bygone days.
I am running away as
I am scared to answer the thousand inquisitive eyes.
I am afraid I still want your pretense to remain invisible.
I am running away as
I am scared to spell out the long persisting anguish.
I am afraid I still don’t want to shatter your ego.
So here I am,
Moving away in search of a place
Where there won’t be any space for my fears
I will no more be running away and
My words will no long halt at the tip of my tongue.
