Escape
I close my eyes as my room begins to spin
I pull my knees up and tuck in my chin
Silent sobs escape from my throat
I wish I could escape too, by train or by boat
I'd travel to another, better world
Where I'd claim the land and have my flag unfurled
The rules will be mine and I'll keep my parents away
My buried laughter will again light the day.
Tonight I hide like I often do
Under my blankets soaking my pillow right through
My tears are spilling non-stop again
If this pain will end, I wonder when
I cry until I fall asleep
That's the only time I do not weep.
I hope when I wake up I'll be somebody new
Like one who has a happy family to love you
A father who'll help and refrain from threats
A mother who has children without regrets
Perhaps even a sibling or two
Giving me somebody to talk to
But until that miracle somehow comes true
I'm stuck with horrible days to live through.
