Escape

Sometimes you think you can escape, escape life's treacherous whispers of betrayal;

Escape the wind that makes the back of your neck stand and your body sink;

Escape that which keeps drawing you in even when you want out.

No you can't escape life! You can fight through it, scale through challenges by using defences,

Facing everything with hope and belief that someday, you would be enough;

With the knowledge that where you are, is more than enough for any thought of escape.
