Blocked Senses

I close my eyes,
So I can linger in the darkness
That I can summon at will.
Thinking even the world'll fail to see me,
As I hide in the dark spaces,
Where even light won't ever fill.

I shut my ears,
So I can float in the odd humming within my blocked senses,
Whenever I want to.
Wishing I can escape from the mocking voices,
I get from the world around me.
'Fraid that the fears they keep on reminding me,
Hold true.

I burn my skin,
So I can hide my weak soul
Thats hidden inside.
So no one can see through my burnt flesh and see my world collide,
As my fears vent out in the open.

Trying hard to run away,
But unknowingly taking the fall
For the worse as I fall prey to my own fears.
But I can't seem to escape from it all.

I really, really like the way this one turned out... I have this feeling that I'm gonna start quoting you xP

"So no one can see through my burnt flesh and see my world collide,

I love the last stanza, and I love these chosen lines. This is really a piece of my taste, even though the rhythm is a bit different from how you usually write. I like it. You rhyme very awesomly ;)
