Escape Through Nature
Hiding in the mountains freedom
Away from all worries of pain
Not afraid of the occasional bear,
Even the lions I had no care,
Just to catch a squirrel,
To pet its raspy brown coat,
Just to catch a good thought,
That's all I could hope,
I sit on the edge of a fallen tree,
Feel the bark softly scrape me,
Look upon all of the wildflowers,
Touch the petals made of fine silk,
Don't pluck them or they will wilt,
I hear angry screams calling my name
Its the darkness of drunken madness everyday the same
I must hide....hide I must,
Those impaired screams are the one's I don't trust,
I'll stay hidden until its safe,
This time it won't be my blood to taste.
