Be My Escape

by Startle Me   May 4, 2007


Sadness and depression
How cliched can you be?
Yet we feel these emotions
From a triggered memory

Maybe it is something happening
Right now, at this very moment
Mind feels tired, body feels abused
We use this emotion for torment

Yet we always look for a stranger
To be our knight and shining armor
Of course we have standards for them
Good looking, humorous, a charmer

Although we will push them away
And blame them for causing us pain
Depression we will feel once again
Out comes the body's glorious rain

Not again, end this thinking now
Stop seeing the bad in everyone
End the thoughts of pessimism
Yet these thoughts have just begun

Will someone be able to change
These emotions, feelings I feel?
It hurts my heart, hurts my soul
This is a call for help, an appeal

Searching for a knight in armor
It doesn't matter the size, shape
Save me from thoughts, pessimism
Say nothing at all, just be my escape

**Eck. It's... eck? Still, comment and vote**

    I like the idea of this poem a lot.. although its been done before.. the flow was great except for in this line "This is a call for help, an appeal" which created an ejoyable read.. the word choice was good.. not fantastic i think you could have described your feelings with a little more detial.. but its just an opinion :D
