Escape

ESCAPE

I used to and still do
Sometimes wonder, "Why here?"
Live and dwell in
This dreadful atmosphere.

The sky above is daunting
Glaring right at you is the land,
The people whisper about you
Because they don't understand.

Everyone has a smile
They're all so cheery and so loud,
As I sit and glare
Under my little storm cloud.

I close my eyes and think
Abuse, kill, rape,
This world is just all crime
Where is my escape?

Then suddenly I'm falling
Down a black hole,
I'm taken by surprise
Then hit water so, so cold

I'm drowning in this water
I grasp, pull and grip,
Something grabs me by my shoulders
And throws me before I slip

I take deep gulps of air,
As my feet hit the ground,
But instead of saying what I left
I'm taken aback by what I've found.

I look around and see
A whole different world,
A breeze whooshes past me
Carrying leaves that twist and twirl.

The trees lean towards each other
Leaning in quite near,
To each other they whisper
As if each had an ear.

Thunder rumbles deeply
As I think continuously, "What is this place?"
A storm could be quite dangerous
But I feel completely safe.

I look at the black waters behind me
And try to dip my foot in
I wrench my foot back
For it doesn't sink in

Reluctantly I put my foot back
I stays firm, like land,
Even though I can't explain
I seem to understand.

I see the water underneath
What appears to be glass,
And I begin to walk across
Hoping the shield won't pass.

I reach the middle
And watch the water ripple and move,
I sit down on the glass
And spot the bright full moon.

I lie down and stretch out
Look up at the sky,
I realise now it's purple
And just how quickly it's passing by.

I lie there at peace
As the sky turns dark blue,
The stars suddenly fade into appearance
So bright, shining and true

Nobody can bother me
As I lie there and close my eyes
And I come to think
This must be where perfect lies

Suddenly then it happens
I have no time
I've reached perfect happiness
And forgotten of all crime.

But then I'm falling back
Back into life
But I feel no longer sad
And throw away my knife.

I stare out the window
And then the curtains I drape,
And then bang it hits me
I've found my escape.

P.S
This is actually a true story. I JUST shared with you MY escape, in words I could best describe it. Please comment, on all of my work, anyway.
