Poem: when in my head my throat i find
it''s hard to speak my mind.
i fight to say the things i need
to express my feelings that indeed
have to escape to set me free.
i choke every word every time
and i''m not even sure that it''s mine.
it hurts so much to get it out
that all i want to do is pout and pout,
but i must escape to be free.
all i want to do is sleep,
because it takes so much energy to weep.
but weep i do, because sleep i cannot,
i try and try, but it''s not in the plot.
please let me escape, i want to be free.
there is a hole deep inside and i know not what to do,
i scrape from the bottom my desires to renew.
it grows and it grows no matter the cost,
because i cannot find a way to stop me from being lost.
i fear for escape that i cannot be free.
when i sit down and think all i feel is numb,
i stare at the wall feeling pretty dumb.
i lose focus and concentration and stuff,
i can''t think, i can''t work, it''s all clouds and fluff.
there is no escape, no freedom for me.
the pain is real, i can feel it all over,
i push it aside, so is won''t blow my cover.
it''s so hard to function, because no one understands
what it''s like when the world has such high demands.
there is no escape, there is no freedom for me......
