He’s found a way to live…
Devoid of all emotion…
A simple trick of the mind…
Sets the wheels in motion…
Locking it all away…
Preventing any tears…
That would flood his eyes…
If he remembered all the years…
The good times and the bad…
All his stupid mistakes…
On the road that he has travelled…
The decisions that he’s made…
In the search of some distraction…
Whilst hiding in plain sight…
But distorting his reality…
Under cover of the night…
Where he becomes another…
Assumes that personality…
The one that he keeps hidden…
So no one else can see…
Like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde…
At the flick of a switch…
Sees a quick transformation…
Like a spell cast by a witch…
Turning to the dark side…
Tuning into evil thoughts…
Listening to the demons…
Forgetting all he’s been taught…
And living in the shadows…
Searching for like minds…
Those who understand him…
Not judging what they find…
But then he forgets it all…
In the light of the morning sun…
Pretends it never happened…
And moves on, starts to run…
Like a scared little child…
A boy just like Peter Pan…
Who never really grew up…
Or understood life’s plan…
Trapped in a prison…
His own private cell…
He can never escape it…
Some days it feels like Hell…
So he’s now found a way…
To live without emotion…
It’s how he exists…
It’s the path he has chosen…

A prisoner of the past
Terrified that the present will not last
In the guise of strength
Keeps running away from love at length

Beautifully written but I will continue to feel the terrible lows that seemingly must follow- or is that precede?- the lovely highs.
The rollercoaster of life my friend – Cheers J
