It was a gorgeous sunny morning after a night of rain and pain. My eyes were not lying to me, the sun was up, the birds were singing, the wild daisies bloomed bright at the edge of the fresh green forest. And yet my brain, or was it my heart, failed to rejoice at God's glory. It was as if someone had placed an invisible weight on my shoulder, tinted my glasses in grey, and I couldn't get through the fog to immerse my self in the beauty. I couldn't even lift myself from bed. It wasn't just the physical pain that stopped me, this time it was something more. A change in brain chemistry perhaps, the famous lack of serotonin (or whatever) that makes people depressed. I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't stop myself from opening the laptop and googling "painless suicide methods". It seemed like the perfect morning to die.

- I'm looking for a place to hide
From the real world
From my fears
From the wrinkles and the wobbly step
From ingratitude
From attitude and pain
I'm looking for a place to hide
My self-respecting pride
My childhood dreams
My love affairs
My bliss
My life
Myself
I'm looking for a place to be
Without revealing
What's NOT me
Where people and myself would see
Only the part I know is me
