Escape

by Erica Costa


As I open the door of my malibu

Immediately I wonder where I’ll travel to

Keys already in the ignition

Take me somewhere far–I’m wishing

Oh how the wind blows

I’m alive

But I can barely feel my toes


Let us climb the highest mountain

Let us swim in the ocean

Taste the wildest berries

Bust the craziest dance moves

Please don’t judge and disapprove


I want to run away

Well–not really

Loved ones would probably go all willy nilly

I crave freedom

Free my mind

No more thinking

I said STOP

It stops

It stops when the frog hops

It stops when I sit in the woods and the raindrops I’m not in my

head when I choose to be free in the real world But I am too

busy inside my head with my construction workers Building

my dreamworld


Let’s go to a different country

Or perhaps a different state

It could alter my state

Of mind..

I’m tired of feeling blind

I can see perfectly fine

Inside my head of course

Reality check

I’m sitting by my desk

Awaiting my next assignment

Remember to wear your mask

Tic-toc tic-toc

I wanna be in shock

I want excitement

Perhaps I change my major

Ugh! been there done that


I live in my head when reality appears dull

It is entertaining inside

But also the scariest

Wish it could be all of the merriest

The repetitive cycle of life

Anyone got a knife?

You know for getting through the wildlife

I’ll need it when I’m in the woods

Getting away from real life

Seriously though

I want to chase the wind

Blow me into the sweet nothings Possibly

somewhere with a beautiful sight I’m not

even afraid of a bite

Place me anywhere

I don’t care


Anyways,

I’m in the middle of nowhere

Surrounded by violence

Hatred

Ignorance

Opinion

Don’t forget to

Get a job

Get a degree

What the hell do you want from me!!??

I’ll see you all later

Back inside my head, I’m a decorator


I paint the walls green

Nope, bright pink

And nothing stinks

Because inside here

I am me

Inside here

I don’t have to volunteer

No more forcing words out of my peer

Back inside my head

I pretend

I highly recommend!
