Avoiding Life

what can i do?
can i back out?
i don't want to talk,
you don't need to know,
but, at the same time,
running away from your problem,
only causes more,
is that what you want?
to go down that same road,
because you want to hide,
and pretend there's nothing wrong,
you know that's the wrong choice,
but, it don't help you,
what can you do?
everything is too much,
feeling presured to talk,
it something you have to do,
but, in the back of you mind,
it's the hardest thing to do,
but, really,
what can you do?
