Escape

I try to be polite

My life is taking flight;

I’m lost and alone

To sadness I am prone.

The world is a cage

It’s no longer my stage;

The confidence I miss

My innocence was bliss.

Now I’m alive

I can’t even survive;

I’m lost and alone

I can’t pick up the phone.

I try to believe

I can no longer deceive;

I’m tired and scared

My life was spared.

My option is death

I must hold my breath

Stupid girl; can’t you see

You need to flee!
