No Escape

By Deiyen

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Every once in a while I feel like I'm losing my head.This life that I've lived, I've never really led.All my decisions, the choices I've made,Have brought me to this point, which is starting to fade.See, how do I know, that this is my life?I could end it all with a simple kitchen knife.But how would I know that it was I who died?Maybe someone else's life ended, where in mine, I only tried.My mind races through the mazes I've developed,Never to escape, completely enveloped.This confusion has left me sitting alone,Night after night, turning my heart to stone.Although impossible, there's only one thing I desire,For things to be better, my whole world entire.Perhaps then, my heart will beat once more,And I will feel love, like I have before.Just a poem with a strange metaphor of something I'm going through. Thanx for the comments. Written October 8th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 08:55 AM PST   10 • 0 • 12
