Premium Member Breaking, Escaping My Doldrums
Being in a rut is driving me nuts. I feel trapped in this doldrums. In my mind, I am screaming … Please, somebody! Get me out! Writing is hard, nothing comes to mind. Going out is tough, even to the market. All I do is read, transporting me to Boston, and Vermont, the settings of the stories. Need to write, but my muse...

Silent Bruises
They say '"love is patient, love is kind" But what about the love that leaves bruises behind The love that whispers sweet nothings by day But turns into thunder when you disobey The love that says "I didn't mean it" Yet, the walls still remember every scream in it See, love ain't supposed to taste like fear Like holding your breath when...

Escaping The Silence
Vitamins, chained to shallow waters. Buried in a cave. Below the world. I stand ready. Waiting for more. Seeds of sorrow planted deep. Mercy or remorse. Shadows aside I sense you near me. Nightly rain sparks my soul. Sheer pain take over the globe. Holding fast to what brings comfort. Joy and Bliss belong to us all. Ascend the...

Grand Plan of Escaping
on my desk lays a plan grand to escape from my town and live in the valley waking up to the sound of birds chirping ending my day with a walk in the evening at night, sipping tea by the fire to falling asleep in the arms of my lover i’ll watch, “trees shedding a part of them in fall” i’ll watch, fog...

Escaping Death
Escaping Death (written in a mental hospital) I escaped from Death today, And I don't know what to think. Because when Death comes round and round, you start to feel his scent and stink. There are others counting on me now. I can't let them down, this I know. So close to Death and yet, so certain- now...

Escaping Darkness
We sit in darkness hours before sunrise unable to sleep, listening to the faint sounds off in the distance windows open letting in the cool of autumn, breathing waiting on change hoping for enlightenment progress, hope, fulfilled promises, heartbeats echoing the steady pump wishing for more aching at it's delay, knowing the sun will rise once again....

Premium Member Escaping
It is not hard to slip away From generalizations They put on you in case you stay Within their observations They are the ones who hold the truth Which we supposedly deserve In truth they tell I see no use Cause I’m behind the curve Dissenters, silencers like me Are many, more than they Would ever count, just to see How falsly we obey We’re hypocritical and...

Escaping the Voices
The night has fallen, turning the sky deep purple, the color of bruises. Outside the glass door of the place I call home, the noises, and the witchy voices on the intercom, are drowned out. Some men have tried to quell my anxiety. We've gone browsing in the shoe store, the phone company, to distract me from fears. But I've come back again and again, to hardened criminals with...

Escaping Reality
I sat by the dewy morning grass, as a robin drew scrawls in the air with her melodious voice. The sun's gaze prickled my skin, as the breeze twirled between evergreen leaves of a Willow tree. Chilly water flowing beside my feet, we raced each other in the rocky springs, sitting by the bank to compare the rocks we’d seen. Drenched in...

Escaping Fate
Do you remember when you told me that story of all the Planets in the sky and how they all had different jobs and had different people they were in charge of? That Uranus was a magician and he was friends with all the squirrels and mice or that Neptune was a mystic and for half a dollar he could tell...

Premium Member Escaping Elysian Dreams
A single drop of water might be a source of solace. Since what is unseen is destroyed, allow me to stay. A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace Dreary midwinter is no match for Elysium malice! Hiding from prying eyes, a visit under a gloomy sky A single drop of water might be a source of solace. With mind two-way mirror,...

Escaping the Mud
I can still hear her boots hit the pavement as she walks away. Her sanguine footsteps swallowed up by the greedy black night, feasting on her departure. Waning moonlight silhouettes every lithe movement, the winter air highlighting every hot breath. I fill my lungs with air, its cold fingers tear at my lungs and sink into my chest as I watch her disappear into the...
