Let's Escape

Lion, lion
on the wall
aren't you
afraid to fall?
Do you hang
by your claws?
Don't play brave
just for me
Don't you crave
to be free?
Lion, lion
on the wall
don't be
afraid to fall
I will catch
sure and true
atop your back
I will climb
and we'll run away together
leaving this classroom behind.

This came to me today at work... I like it. :)

Help Me Escape

Drowning under flourescent lights
swallow me whole
the dark night
in a hole of selfishness, sinking
I tear my soul
where am I going?
The road is lit
lined with light poles
but I still can't see it
I'll follow tails lights
but it takes its toll
swinging on the tail of this kite
hoping to end up somewhere for safe keeping
where I hope, want and am meant to be, full.
happy. content, life done sucking.
tired... tired of sleeping. Stop it!
this dreaming lull
I need to escape it.

Feeling very emotional his weekend. Things going on that are making me feel like I'm stuck in place, not really moving. I am not happy. Why can't I achieve in life, what I want? It's so annoying... grrr. *cry*

Stars in the Sky

By the wings of my heart
I fly at night
mind and soul wretched apart
I take flight
take me somewhere peaceful
soft nature surrounds
take me somewhere beautiful
where I'll never be found
floating silently
I soar by
riding the wind gallantly
but all you see is the sky
and rain drops fall
from a clear starry night
don't look appalled
like this isn't right
explanations are pointless
just enjoy what God gave us
close your eyes
and soar with me
I promise
you'll be happy.


I wrote this within the last year and a half. I was tired of conflict and betrayals of friends and vowed that if I could just escape it all I could be happy and if I could bring those with me whom I trusted and held dear, that they too could escape it. But they had to trust me first...because one who is silent and only writes out her opinions and feelings apparently gains no merit easily, even among friends. To be honest, I have found over these last few years that I have few friends that have stayed true and among those few most are related to me by blood. Sometimes I feel it's just me, that there is something about me that people ignore me or my opinions and feelings and thus I become a small person they pay little heed and reverence and so when times of strife are upon us...they abandon my advice to their own selfish wants. But I know I am not one to be ignored. Those who choose to do so are foolish. A foolish man leads a foolish life of no value.
