Laura Dee Poet Rhyme

The Escape Artist

By Laura Dee
October 24, 2014

When I was 5 I used to fantasize
About the girl I was inside
But I pushed it under a disguise
Tangled up in lies where I could always hide

So I just ran away that day...

When I was only 10 immersed myself in sin
Just for my friend, a boy at camp
He could call his boyfriend until the bitter end
Send me on a path, he was the stamp

Instead I just ran away...

Then a slower dance brought me a new romance
The girls could really move their hips
Penetrate me with a glance and leave me in a trance
I really loved to move their lips

I f***ing ran away again...

When I was 25 I turned to stone inside
How I wished I just was gay
But then she came inside with no where left to hide
And the demons came my way

Then I ran away again and again...

So now I come outside of the lines
Two steps away from the caution signs
And now i stay in a volatile place
It's ok if they say it's a damn disgrace

So now I'm running away again
From all I've ever known
All I've known...
