No Escape

We run, we hide, we try to escape,
The pain we feel inside.
Changing our environment,
Change our lifestyle,
By moving far away.
We cannot change who we are,
We can only change where we are.
No amount of drinking,
And no amount of drugs,
Can ease away your pain.
You can sleep away weary bones,
Or rest your tired muscles,
But sleep away your sorrows,
It cannot be done.
The pain, the loneliness,
Heartbreaks or disappointments,
All in the control of your mind,
No matter where you go.
We build our dreams,
And make our happiness,
We can move to a better home.
But to run away or hide from pain,
It will follow us to the end.
Face our fears, stand our ground,
Look troubles in the eye,
As soon as we do,
It is never too late,
We can become who we are.
