Escape


She was a girl scared of her own shadow 

To scare to even speak

To small to fight 

To weak to think

She found her voice with in her silence 

Her light with in her darkness

She learned to dance in the rain 

And read in the dark 

She could paint her world on a canvas 

And every pain she ever felt became her motivation 

It became her creation 

Her escape in every way
