Escape
escape
don't just sit and look
wondering in shadows
blinded in your own traps
of fears
still holding on
to the past
with no motive
of a change
depressed captivated
and worn out in
sadness
disappointed by
the systems
and finally
feeling alone
in a crowded world
of few humanity
if you are such a victim
is time to get out of shadows
escape
escape
tear down to pains
of heat break
left alone like
all was your fault
dejected by the society
oppressed by the law
devalued by the economy
brutalized by the police
working yet belly empty
now crying in the closet
of secrets
if you are such a victim
is time to live again
is time to live right just
escape
escape
the world is bid
the planet earth is wide
it can accommodate all
so every victims of
captive has a hope
no need to wet the floors
with tears
no need to weed the table
with spits of anger
no need to full the private
cupboards with secrets
just be brave
make a u turn
take a step to
leave all negativity
all that weigh you down
so you could be free to
escape
