Lord R. E. Taylor Poet Free verse

Escape

Escape

I want to escape
Just run away from the world
Climb to the top of a mountain
Drop down into a valley
Swim across a raging river
Step upon the distant shore
I want me to be left behind
Forgotten by me and everyone
I do not want to exist any longer
I want to become someone I am not
I just want to be the me I want to be
In a place far away from the past
I just want to be me
