Hiding Is Failure

Hiding Is Failure

Was I subconsciously late because I knew you weren’t my mate?

This is a story of a state I should relate

There’s hypothesis, theory and then reality

The last is cast in the world of fact physically

Truth to you is talking to power

For you control who and what you are, there’s no liar

Are you told to succumb to fate and pretend its plumb?

Reject that as dumb and then reach for the rum

For you must continue to fight on, and party too

To find the one or two who’ll be true and not make you blue

Now is the time of importance for tomorrow takes care of itself

Love that image in the mirror and never be mean to yourself

Reach for the edge and take the step onto love’s ledge

You’ll never regret that risk even if it’s rejection’s sledge

For if down you slide, look back with pride

Get up once more and see the strength that you don’t hide
