Escape
July 12, 2012
I look behind me, but there's nobody there,
I look again and there he stood,
I blink and he comes closer,
I back away in fear, but he comes ever so closer,
I turn to flee, but he's right by my side,
I can't escape my mind.
It turns against me when I need it most,
Can't quite comprehend why I'm its host,
Sorrow and fear is what it makes me feel,
Pain is all that I must know,
Love is a distant cry cut short by the fallen bird,
Happiness is driven out,
Hatred is forced back in,
But what I can't understand is, why?
I can't escape my mind.
