The perfect escape
October 29, 2016
There are holes in your ceiling
As i stare up
Your eyes are closed
But mine wont seem to shut
The paint is beginning to peel away
Just like the sheets
Barely covering your waist
The light is not on
But there is just enough sun
To cast a shadow
On your soft looking face
The door is slightly open
So are your lips
I am staring at the
Perfect escape

I am very proud of this poem and it is one of my favorites. I think you could analyze this piece in many different ways and I hope when you read it you can relate to it in some way. I wrote it to explain how people can try to escape by getting lost in someone else or there's always an open door and new beginnings if you really want to escape and get better.
