Escape

Escape By Laura D 1.5.2017 I don't want diamond rings or expensive things I want finally feel alive; i want to feel everything If this constant pain would go away today I'd give it all away and live endlessly into the fray I'd fill my lungs with sweet release And keep away this tragic disease It's terminal they say; doesn't matter anyway When I run out of things to say; when I am proud of being gay Sweltering below this make-shift shelter outside I can see from here where privelidge and beauty collide I just can't see the silver lining in the pouring rain When did I become the one they stare at on the train? I'm going insane in this house of eternal misfits Maybe this is as good as it will really get Maybe we're too crazy to live, and too rare to die Rambling into the morning light; too tired now to lie anymore I'm searching desparately for long-forgotten answers Memories of a former life quietly become a pretty blur As my thoughts slowly drift back to her at home The demons come again tonight; but I know I won't be alone
