Escape

by author422

Falling asleep

Needing to leave

Everything so dull

And boring

And gray

Clocks ticking slowly

Closer and closer

Stopping not once 

Nor twice

Perhaps never

And nobody catches you

Falling endlessly

In a void of darkness

And chaos

And bliss

And color starts fading

Bleeding out of feelings

Try and daydream

But waking up

Is a nightmare

Nothing is different

All of it blending

In a whirlwind of distress

And it never stops

Does it ever end

Or did it even

For a single moment

Begin.

Erm, my inspiration was and is Harry Potter, which started me on my now six year journey to becoming an author. I love to write (obviously), especially poetry, which is how I express the rawer side of myself. My poetry is mostly on Wattpad and Wordpress, which I am now uploading onto here as well. (I don't want to get sued or something, I put that here so I can't be accused of copying someone else's work, since I am just copying my own work to put it on here as well.)
