Getaway

Slowly my eyes open,

as the morning sunlight shines on my face.

As i sit up i notice nothing here seems familiar.

Where am i? What is this place?

 

I stand to further examine my surroundings.

Still this is not right!

Though it all seems so beautiful.

The Smell of the grass, the trees shading me from the sunlight.

The sky so blue, no clouds to be seen.

Animals on the move, birds takin flight.

 

How did i get here?

I find myself asking such questions but why?

How could anyone deny such beauty so clear.

This feeling is overwhelming.

I long to stay. Yet i fear,

nothing here is as it seems.

Nothing here is real.

 

My fortress of solitude.

My place of peace.

All in my head.

My only relief.

 

As i awake i feel the pain already.

Back into the world I've despised for so long.

The weight on my shoulders so heavy.

Way too much to bear.

 

I'll face the days untill im free.

Not only in my mind but reality as well.

No stress or threatening changes.

Just heaven, No Hell.

untill that day i live in my head.

My soul will soon rest, no longer an empty shell.

God is my fortress, my strength, my refuge. This earthly place is not my home... God Bless You, Sincerely, Lucinda
