Escape Me

by Kade   Mar 26, 2016


Awkward, so awkward.
Squeeze my eyes shut,
begging my voice not
to tremble.

My insecurities have taken root;
fiercely relentless.
I'm a prisoner; running free through vast, lush, daisy sprinkled fields,
hyperventilating in bubble gum shackles.

To break free, I would
give my mind.
For peace I find, would be enough,
to steady my hyper heart.
Empty head in exchange for happiness
dumb grins and reckless abandon.

Surrounded by spring but the walls keep closing in.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Set me free from misery
must I forever bleed and writhe in shame?

Sneers and blank faces,
a penchant for self hate,
second guessing and ruminating,
a life of senseless worries and cares
that rid strands of hair of their true colour.

I long for freedom.
Help me escape me.
