The Escape

“The Escape” Like the hidden thorn attached to the rose you give to a friend When you least expect the pain you feel or the blood leaving your heart When a special moment in time that has you smiling and happy Life finds a way to tear your eyes into rivers and your heart into pieces Like the song that makes your feet dance the night away only to go home alone Without that special someone to hold you as you walk in the door Without the one to love you as you grow old in each other’s arms Life finds a way to remind you of how the loneliness can overtake even the happiest of thoughts Nothing good in life seems to ever stay the way you expect it For some they are blessed with the sweetest life God has to offer For others, it’s a struggle to even pick up your feet to walk forward daily For me it’s a roller coaster that leaves me stranded between happy and deeply depressed Some say there is no rhyme or reason for depression to hang on like the thorn stuck to your shoos Some say suck it up and be stronger then the demons that live inside your fragile mind I say if life is so easy I wouldn’t be stuck here with falling tears that seem to never end If life was so easy I wouldn’t be begging for the escape that ends this endless torture
