Hiding Away

Hiding is the only escape, hiding away again as I've done so many years ago. Hiding in dark corners evading the light of day. Avoiding interactions with other human life so not to disturb their peace, so not to cause misery and death. Hiding away underground, death my new friend for everything I touch slowly dies away. Dust flying away to the earth and sky. Hiding away dreaming of a simpler time in the sun, children laugh and play and shadows hide away. Oh simpler time, oh how it seems like a distant memory now hiding away in my shadow, now old and cold.
