Escape
People attempt to run away from this life,
The struggles to avoid are darkness and strife,
With every step in shoes made of lead,
To the point of exhaustion their pores bled,
Can they carry on this weary road,
Can they reach the destination a warm abode,
A journey through life that may seem unfair,
Twist the perspective to escape if you dare,
Reality is only based on the angle you view,
Stretch it, pull it, deceive it to change what's true,
People attempt to run still to start something new,
The truth is you are who you are no matter what you do.
