Release What You Hide Poem by Kelvin Rush

All the oppression the fanatical obsession
Keeping depression at bay
All the dark moods the constant broods
The fools that won't go away

Black clouds looming the wants and the grooming
The sexual fantasies subside
You try to pull through but all you can do
Is scream out and hang on to the ride

You wallow in sadness the mundane the madness
The hollow the vile and the sick
The homeless and hunger the poor torn asunder
The magnificent the cruel and the thick

You're too scared to sleep the scars run too deep
It's a struggle to get out of your bed
It's a game you can't win so you cheat or give in
There is turmoil invading your head

You vomit each day you curse and pray
You desperately try to survive
You turn to your faith it's all you have left
Only God can keep you alive

You can dream all you like it will do you no good
You can never control what happens
You can fight until the end and fiercely defend
But you'll experience the same old patterns

All the times you've cheated the way you mistreated
Your parents your friends and your wife
All the drugs and the booze all the people you abused
The deception the false promises and lies

When you finally decide to release what you hide
Like the torment anger and shame
The unbearable stress the emotional mess
The regrets that drive you insane

When you finally decide to release what you hide
There'll be no more pain only peace inside
