Escape
I have nowhere to run because I can't escape it.
There is nowhere to hide because it will find me.
I see it in the mirror every morning.
It stares me in the face beckoning for me to recognize it.
Behind every tree I catch a glimpse of it.
When I wake I can feel it on my breath.
Every time I push it away, I can feel it fighting against me.
Fighting to keep me, resisting my escape.
I feel pain when I am forced to face it.
Remembering the things that I long to have, but I cannot.
It's easier to escape than remember.
Escape is no longer an option.
Yearning for what I must live without.
Wondering why I have to think about it night and day.
Recall the magic of the remembrance but yet I wish I could be free.
I do not wish to be free of my innermost longing.
I wish to be free of the pain it causes to long in such a way.
The bittersweet feelings of heartache and dissatisfaction.
There is nothing I want more than to curb this hunger.
In the corner my mind and imagination huddle in deep thought.
Trying to figure out the tricky riddle of fate and unlock the door of destiny.
To bring me into the place that I need to be
Because it will not allow me to escape.
Help me find that place.
