Today is My Day to Escape

 

Today is my day to escape.

I will rise up through the ceiling

in search of elusive healing.

Knowing too well I’m a broken body

whose soul is sad and also shoddy.

I need to stay and do the work

where sins and sighings darkly lurk.

My feet forced to the flaming fire.

Truth comes out (surprise) I’m a liar.

Sometimes it is too much to bear,

I look to flee from pain and despair.

Today is my day to escape.

But I’ll be back to try again

to try to make a loss a win.
