Denial

We lie to ourselves
We hide from ourselves
from the truth that we fear,
can't understand.
We hear ourselves
Through sound proof ears,
we see ourselves
the way we see our peers,
through rose tinted glasses
and thick, black eyelashes
Those burning red lips
speak the name.
We look at ourselves in dirty mirrors
Not wanting to see the blemishes
any clearer.
We dodge around corners,
following orders,
we rebel in our own little ways.
We avoid what calls us,
what naturally befalls us,
we run from that one word,
a name.
we hold it inside,
yet we cannot confide
even in the twist of concious mind,
we supress and repress,
we hurry to burry
we shove, we tug,
just get it away!
