Anti-self

Anti-self


Can anyone hide me?
Hide me, protect me, save me
From all of the things
That I do flee from?
Someone, please,
Hide me from my anger,
And hide me from my fears.
Hide me from the pain:
The pain I have caused,
And the pain that I bear.
Anyone who hears this,
I implore, I beg you,
Hide me from my past mistakes,
And the future uncertain
Towards which I now move.
Save me from my duties,
The responsibilities that are mine;
And all the unanswered questions
Which hang over my head.
In short,
Save me from all the things
That are what I am;
Save me from myself.
