Escape
im standing in your shadow
an overcast of conceitment
trying to discover the light
which way is wrong, which way is right
to dark to notice a small movement
to bright to notice a smile
shadow cast of a long hollow mile
waiting in a trapped trial
for a period to long to wait
it will swallow you whole
leaving you breathless and without a soul
writing is my only escape
it lets me explain how i feel
how im a trapped shape
im a person and im real
this is my strong deep connection
in which i show true affection
my tunnel out of reality
freely exploring the depths of my mind
tracing back to where this would all start
honestly i began this journey in my heart
