Bury Yourself

Lose yourself in dreams
Burrow under the covers
Bury yourself in work
Dive under piles of papers and books
Deafen yourself with music
Drown your thoughts in melody

Surround yourself with distractions
So you don’t have to face the emptiness of your reality
Make mindless noise
So you can ignore the silence of your life
Keep moving in any direction
So you can forget how lost you are

Keep your head low
Then they can’t see your raw, red eyes
Keep your mouth shut
Then they won’t hear your voice crack
Keep moving quickly
Then they see how different you are
