Escape
What would it be like to be free?
To escape reality?
How would it feel to not be trapped?
Within these four walls,
I pace back
And forth
Surrounding myself in what I thought I once lost
I think to myself
About who I would be
If I could for one second,
Escape reality
Would I be brave?
Like the warrior tribes,
Would I be able to open my eyes?
To see the whole world,
With a fresh perspective?
Or would I be small?
Scared of my own narrative?
What would it be like to be free?
To escape reality?
I don’t really know,
What’s right or what’s wrong,
and no more at night,
shall I cry for so long,
for this is free,
this is my reality.
