Running Away
Some days I want to escape,
Escape life or erase my pain.
I want to fall backwards on my back,
I want to cry and scream and have someone save me.
I am being saved,
My pain just won’t see it.
Some days I wake up,
I feel the blood in my throat,
I feel the tightness in my chest,
I want to say goodbye and die.
They say pain is just perception,
Our pasts create a victim,
Then I am a confused victim,
Who can’t live through my own pain.
Every day waking up,
Hoping to die,
Hoping the universe would take me.
Take your angel back,
Free me of this pain,
For I am not strong enough,
To live again.
