I am not hiding from the world,

I just want to stay inside.

It is always cold outside, always dark.

I have no reason to hide.

I am not hiding, or giving up,

I just need some time to rest.

i have not given up,

I have already given my best.

I am not afraid of life,

I just need to take a break.

I had a heavy load to carry.

i just got tired, and weak.

I am not hiding, but the door is locked,

and I covered all the windows.

I turned the phone off, and disconnected the bell,

I stay medicated, and mellow.

I am not hiding, leave me alone,

I don't want to go out there.

I am not hiding, I am dying.

There is no body here.
