Out of Sight

Where can I go to hide out of sight

So no one will witness the tears I suppress?

Tears so unmanly, exhibits of shame,

Not meant for viewing in open display.

 

Keep me in shadows away from the light.

Spare me the duty, the need to confess.

Finding a scapegoat to shoulder the blame.

Wanting so desperately to get away.

 

Reasons aplenty abound for such flight,

Though reason of common sense loudly protest.

No one can understand what’s in a game

Where everyone loses who chooses to play.

 

Don’t give me grief, for I have the right.

I’m a participant, not just your guest.

The hurting will end and I will lay claim

To the beautiful prospect of a new day.
