Escape


     They were bigger than me!
     Couldn't get free.
     Circled around,
     Until I fell on the ground!
     Scared of what they could do.
     I picked a space between some knees,
     Let all my breath out.
     Until I thought I could squeeze,
     Between and under,
     Grasping hands and knees.
     Ran all the way home,
     Then knew I was free!
