Escape

Most of the time in our life the struggle that we have is with yourself. Freeing and liberating the inner YOU is most of the times the answer to the most deep routed troubles.
I tried hard to escape.
I tried to spread my wings
I knew I was in there somewhere
But I wasn't’t able to see
My vision was obscure
And soon I got engulfed in the never-ending dark
It was suffocating and I drifted off
I dreamt of myself, a different me
Hard to recognize but definitely me
I seemed familiar yet not so known
I was happy, I was free
Radiant me hard to miss
I tried drinking as much joy as I could
But soon there was a storm
And my dream became dark.
I tried escaping again,
I tried to remove the darkness
I was caged and I was scared
And suddenly my dream broke
And it was dark again
I realized the darkness was because of me
I realized I wanted to escape from myself and be free
I realized this wasn't’t me
I remembered the 'Me' in my dreams
I knew the key to my escape
It was setting myself free
