A Criminal on The Run

Last night tears had brought me to a realization that I was actually under pressure. What would you call it then? To cry suddenly, without physical happenings around you?

Out of the blue, I've become the criminal on the run with a secret who goes on hiding here and there, duck around from the spotlights and avoid suspicious eyes. When you're an innocent person going on hiding to protect a secret, sometimes it gets tiring while you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, just like in the movie. At the end, you just gonna be brave and raise your hands high to surrender, to give up to be the innocent people. Give up running. And lay the truth on the table.

But what if you've been on the run for a few years now? People are after you and your secret. You have no idea when is the end is going to be. The day when you finally release yourself from all the weight, all the problem and stress. The day you thought you could bring along your little secret to your grave. Then you thought is not going to worth it after all these years you're hiding from the public, if you give up now.

If that's the way it is, what is the end then? Is there an end of it?

Because I see no end of it, so I have to pull myself together and take my very brave step out there. Because I'm tired of hiding.

Finally, you taught me something. You taught me something about you. You choose to avoid, rather than confront. When the secret is out, everybody will be happy, and I'll stop going on hiding.

At least we try. I've already made up my decision. What about you?
