I've finally found my escape

I'm crying & crying 
What can I do to stop this pain on the inside 
I pick up the blade 
& get ready to slash away 
 
But I feel a strength pull my arm back 
Away from my wrist 
I set down the blade 
& I feel a breeze 
 
A pen & paper blown in front of me
I attack the paper with words 
Then sound escapes my lips 
Its soft & musical 
 
It seems to be coming from my Heart
These words 
These sounds 
All of my anger out 
 
& I've created a song 
I've created poetry 
I've created my escape 
 
Escape from this cruel place 
Full of demons & monsters 
& Angels trying to stay safe 
I've finally found my escape

Me
