Escape
Take my hand,
Is that bus to Utopia?
Come, let me take you home
My home
I sit on my desk
My body present
My soul escaping
Riding the last bus to oblivion
It is beautiful
It is glorious
Wonderful
Full of bliss and color
Come,
I'll show you
I will narrate to you
The place, far away
Full of symphony
I will tell you of Him
He greets me with a smile and warm hug
How was your day he begs to hear
I narrate with a smile and short hugs
I take His hand,
We sit by the doorsteps
And I tell Him of my dreams, ambitions,
I notice Him basking at my sight
I ignore and carry on with gusto
He is beautiful
It is beautiful here
No judgement
No deadline
No merit
Nothing.
No passage,
Every time I retire on my bed,
I do not sleep,
The soul sinks under,
It scatters a thousand pieces across the universe
I am searching for a passage
If I can't find it
I create one
When my alarm goes off in the morning
My body lies hollow
My soul in a million places
I start to gather, and it takes a minute
Tired, I start another reality.
